[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]89.55 rounds to 90 so should be an A-. Does the school's policy say an A- is greater or equal to 90.0 or 90? [/quote]

According to whom?[/quote]

According to math 89.55 rounds to 90 so if the minimum for an A- is 90 (not 90.0) then the kid has an A-. That isn't teacher discretion, that is math. You can try it for yourself by putting 89.55 into excel and asking it to show the number without any decimals.

Also, if the individual test grades were not reported to the tenths place, then the average of those grades shouldn't be reported to the tenths place. For example, if you measured a bunch of people's heights in centimeters, you should not report the results in millimeters. https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/accuracy-and-precision[/quote]

Who says these grades are calculated in whole numbers? This is the school's discretion and the teacher's. It's ridiculous that you think otherwise.[/quote]

My syllabus is very clear.  I do not round up[/quote]
