By the same logic they should give all kids A's in every subject...doing anything else might hurt their self-esteem.
Actually, they would prefer to give C's to all students. Better yet, they will move away from percentages and traditional grades to new, elusive symbols and narratives. That's what's happening in Hawaii. For the record, most teachers hate the new report card and grading system.
I would like to find the answers to Question #7 (http://www.medway.k12.ma.us/medway/04mar16mins.html)
