[quote=Anonymous]I think they should do this as so many high schools already do it. Our high school only lists full grades on the transcript and in addition some teachers only list full grades for their class. An 89.4 is a B, some teachers will round a 89.5 to 90.

Reporting percentages wouldn’t work either as our school district allows teachers to do whatever. One English teacher set 79% as an A. She grades lower as a 79 is an A. No idea why. Another English teacher graded on the normal  90 is an A, 80 is a B etc but in Canvas set it up as an 80 was an A, 60 was a B etc. She had nothing in her syllabus that this was the case, all six week report cards were based on this scale and she didn’t tell students until two weeks before the semester was over that the scale was different. Several kids got DS and failed that semester as they hadn’t turned in tons of her busy work because they thought they had a B. For the kids that failed, I think the guidance counselor stepped in and got the teacher to accept work after the break into the next semester so it wouldn’t impact graduation numbers. [/quote]
