[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish more teachers would grade appropriately.  I teach English and I refuse to hand out anything over a 95% on any written assignment.  I won't give 100s anymore.  It's blatantly false to admit that any student is capable of perfection.  The highest grade a student has received for a MP all year in my class is a 94% and I don't see that changing[/quote]

On a written assignment, there's probably merit to this approach.[/quote]

Sure. I do hope the department coordinates though. Because if one English teacher does this and the other seven don't, the kids in their class are kind of screwed to have a B in a sea of As for, say, AP Lang. Which is really kind of awful for those kids. [/quote]

I may be the only one who grades like this in my department but I am also the only one that allows for every assignment other than writing assignments to be corrected and resubmitted.  If you got a 16 out of 20 on our reading guide I will let you resubmit for those extra 4 points with zero questions asked.  My students being held to high writing standards is making them better writers and not hurting their grades at all.  The kids who are A students are still getting As.  They just might be a 93% instead of a 97%[/quote]
