[quote=Anonymous]It seems that most schools have shifted over to standards based grading, which includes practices such as not counting homework/classwork, and allowing test retakes. I see the benefits of it, but it does seem that it has lead to an increase in the number of A's students are given. I was at my middle schoolers awards assembly that was given for kids who made straight A's for the first quarter, and I heard the other mom's remarking on how many more students were getting awards this year than last. This is the first year that the school has fully implemented Standards Based Grading. My concern is that with the huge increase in student GPA's, how are colleges going to differentiate between kids? It would seem as if there would be little choice but to place more weight on SAT scores. Do you think this will start happening soon? [/quote]
