[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure they'll dress it up in some high-minded rhetoric, like they are somehow beyond grades. But getting rid of grades -- like getting rid of AP classes and class rankings and standardized tests -- is all about schools trying to avoid accountability. They're trying to make it harder for parents to objectively determine what their schools are doing for their children. In its place, it's just all, "trust us." Should you trust someone who is trying to make it more difficult for you to gauge how well they're educating your child? [/quote]
