[quote=Anonymous]A B is more meaningful because it correlates with an actual numerical score, usually in the 80s, depending whether plus/minus grades are given. So, there was a difference between getting an 88 (B or B+) or a 98 (A or A+ in terms of knowing how well your child was doing. But now, some teachers seem to give P for both 88 and 98, while others give 88 and I, and 98 a P. In some schools, there is no difference between what would formerly have been B work and A work, while at other schools P is the old B, and ES is given out to many high achieving students, and yet other schools,like ours I is more like the old B, and P is A.[/quote]
Not PP, but they don't correlate at all.  One could fail a concept in the ABC system and still get an A because areas are not looked at individually on tests. 
Perhaps a better way would be to keep the detailed system with the ES, P, I's, etc.  Then give an overall grade in line with old system (ABCD) for each broad category (Math, Science, English, etc...)[/quote]
