I missed this - getting sleepy - east coast time.
Why do you grade like that?
We use the traditional grading system:
A+ ........100
A .........96-99
A- ........94-95
B+ ...........92-93
B ............88-91
B-........... 86-87
C+ ...........84-85
C ............80-83
C- .......... 78-79
D+ ...........76-77
D ........... 72-75
D- .......... 70-71
F .... 69 and below
Honor roll will be marked on the report card of any grade 3-5 student who has fulfilled the following criteria:
No more than one academic subject may be marked with a B- (86% or 87%). All other academic subjects must be 88% or higher. Academic subjects are the following: Bible, Reading, English, Spelling, Mathematics, Science and History. Because XXX is concerned about the development of the whole child, a Âbehavioral grade that is less than an 86% will automatically dismiss a child from honor roll.
Handwriting and special subjects such as Art, Music, Choir, Band, Physical Education and Computers are not calculated into honor roll qualifications.
They are strict there but I like that.
This is only k-3rd grade. Starting in 4th grade it is the traditional grading system.
I wish in 3rd grade they did receive letter grades. They have to take the state tests, so why not letter grades as well.
