[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older kids were just advising my current HS student on which teachers bump grades and which don't so it must be a thing. I don't think they can give an A on the transcript if the percentage is 88. But I think they can be very generous on final assignments or even be persuaded that a prior assignment was graded too harshly or, if they realize a lot of kids have grades lower than they would have in prior years (due to the new grading system) they could make some generous last-week-of-school assignments or something like that.[/quote] The issue with the "free points" assignments in the last week is that they cannot be extra credit. They have to be added as an AT or PP. Which means if a kid doesn't do them, the grade goes down a lot more than it will go up if they did do it. If you have an 88%, a 10/10 AT grade will probably move you up to an 88.6% at most.[/quote]
