[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Ummm... clearly Madison did NOT "do away with + and -" for actual grades in the class! So, you're starting off on a shaking foundation there.[/quote]

Madison did do away with + and - for assignments.  So you also have a "shaky foundation."  A B- paper is completely different from a B+ paper, but now there is no longer that distinction.  I am a student, and I find it really frustrating that inaccurate representations of my skill level are being put into the gradebook.

I SPECIFICALLY said that my kid has all A-minus GRADES  -- as in the grade for the class.  It was very clear that I was talking about his actual GRADE in the class, not what he was receiving on each and every assignment.  You very inaccurately responded that Madison did away with minus and plus grades.  So, yes, your argument was just plain wrong.  Madison kids still get GRADES for the course that are minus or plus.

You have your gripes.  Not sure why you are even on DCUM.  Maybe find something more age-appropriate to do?  This is DC Urban MOMs And DADs forum.[/quote]
