[quote=Anonymous]His Washington post article is wordy but makes sense. 50-100 has 50 points for grading which is similar to the 0 to 4.0 scale using tenths which yields 40 different point scales from high to low. The 50 to 100 uses a 10 number system between grades rather than decimals and uses the favorite 100 percent for getting everything right. I've never understood why people don't like a 50 point system for grades. The funny thing is FCPS used to have a 50-100 scale at least for individual grades before standards based grading came on board. I guess it's a good thing they are going back to this. It still doesn't answer why each assessment should only be given a 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 and not use all the integer numbers between 60 and 100 when grading summatives. [/quote]
