[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holton is somewhat insulated in this respect in that they grade from 0-100, rather than by letter, so you can still distinguish between a 93 (an otherwise low-end A) and 99+ (high end A). The 5 point adder for honors classes plays into this as well. I think it puts less pressure on teachers, too, because the difference between a 92 and 93 (theoretically an A- and an A) or 89-90 (B to A if not using plusses and minuses) becomes much less consequential, thus removing some of the impetus for inflation.[/quote] I think the girls were told that they're changing this policy for next year and the girls will not know their number grade only a letter grade.
