[quote=Anonymous]Meh. Maybe this will help kids aspire to actual accomplishment rather than just the "A" that their parents seem to need them to get. Under the old system with grades A-D, kids were given the message "You are the top, or second from the top, or third from the top, or at the bottom." Under this system, they are told either "You have mastered this exceptionally, or you are proficient at it, or you are still learning it, or you are not learning it." It seems to me that the latter is a much more productive message to send kids. Except for kids or parents who are dependent upon hearing that they are "the top." They will be disappointed.[/quote]
