[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ZEROS ARE COUNTED AS ZEROS!!!!

Why are we arguing this?  I JUST calculated my child's homework grade at Deal.  The zeros counted as zeros.

End of story.

I can do the math.  I am not an idiot.

Again, STOP MAKING SH$%^T up if you do not have proof. [/quote]

ASPEN calculates the grades enters by conversion, refer to DCPS! Students do not get a number grade on final report card they get a letter, the final grades are calculated by the system, find out what the lowest grade DCPS (ASPEN/The system), whatever you want to call it does the calculation. This is not unique to DCPS, happens in other local and national systems too. Plenty of debates and discussions on the topic online, teachers have little control over the final grading and computation, which is what is finally reported. [/quote]

Yes, but as a parent of a child the just graduated from Deal that has received zeros they count as zeros and they pull grades down because they are actually calculated as a zero, both midway through the grading period and at the end.  Two years ago there was nothing less than a 59 or 60, that changed.  My 8th grader’s A was pulled down to a B+ by this.[/quote]
