[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.  SIS does the rounding for you.  The teacher does not need to decide how to round anything.  .5 gets rounded up by the program.

Also, SIS allows you to alter the letter grade for the report card without changing the numeric grade in the gradebook.  Many times I've been told by a principal to grade on trends and mastery, even if the numeric grade is 92.3, I can make the letter grade an A if I deem it appropriate.

[b]That said, the entire system this year has been rigged to make it as easy and forgiving as possible already[/b].  The 79.2 or whatever it is was achieved with a million things already in place to make things super forgiving and fail-proof.  Everything has already been put through the 'it's such a hard year' lens.  Would I still bump them?  Probably.  But I dont blame another teacher for not[/quote]

Actually,  this is bullshit.  By using the total points grading system you made it much harder for any student to go up a letter grade.  I left a post talking about this subject and it was ignored.

Tell the schools to stop using total points and return to normal weighted grading!!!!!!![/quote]
