[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a suggestion. Stop putting percentiles on anything. Just rank order the assignment grade (highest grade to lowest grade). Then your kid (and you) what the kid's ranking on the assessment is. You can know that in fact, your child who you thought was a genius because they have been getting straights A's all this time, is #33 out of 100 on this particular test. The ranking can then be transformed to grades. Back in the good old days, they'd apply a bell curve and could be assigned an A, B, C, etc based on that. But now everyone is very sensitive, so we can normalize where the mean is set to 85 or something. [/quote] Sounds like a great idea and even makes sense, and if gets these nutjobs to stop complaining, I'm all for it.[/quote]
