Grading
discussions continue with the district
by Katie Oxendine
The grading and reporting committee has been exploring the role of zero in
grading and how it drastically changes a student's grade.
According to available literature, the principles of grading and reporting are
to inform instructional decisions, record both students' and teachers' progress,
and provide feedback to students, parents, and teachers about what the student
has learned and is able to do. Some believe that giving a student a zero is
letting that student off easy, and not giving them any motivation to improve.
There are different ways to substitute the "0" grade as an "F." One suggestion
is to change it to a 1.0 instead of a zero. Another one is to change an "F" to a
50 or 60, which makes the spread more equal.
