[quote=Anonymous]I worked at a school that had an online grading portal. I entered grades as percentages and weighted my categories (homework, quizzes, tests, projects). However, I was told that weighted averages were “too confusing” because children and their parents had a harder time calculating what the child would have to earn to meet a target grade. Most school admins are now pushing for points-based grading systems where lower weighted assignments are worth fewer points. Depending on who designed your school’s ed tech, sometimes you can see the total points available, and sometimes you can’t.[/quote]
