[quote=Anonymous]If people want to send their kids to a school with no grades, fine. But this just seems to be a way to make grading more opaque: There are no percentages, just numbers 1-4, and those numbers still get converted into letter grades. And those letter grades will presumable get re-converted into numbers to generate high school GPAs. So how is this better? It also seems like more work for already-overburdened teachers: How many times do they have to keep teaching something until a student decides to learn it? How many new tests do they have to write? I used to teach, and I was happy to cut kids who needed it some slack, but eventually the semester was over and I needed to provide an assessment of their work.[/quote]
