We do International Baccalaureate grading. 1-8. Then convert it to a letter grade. A 33 is a D. Below that is an F. Yes, 33% is a D. The theory is kids should get some credit for their work. It is basically an miracle if someone fails. There is more to it than what I can type, but if you fail, you are a complete idiot. I had a kid that did NO WORK and gets an IB grade of 1. Not a zero. Admin and the theorists see all of this as making kids feel good about grades. We do not grade homework anymore. Only summative tests. Kids can retake tests. Yup. Some schools allow multiple retakes. Some allow assignments to be handed in late. Yup I feel all of this is doing a disservice to kids in getting them set up in the real world. Hand in late work in college. Come to work late. Pay your taxes late. Ask the boss if you can redo the proposal after it has been submitted to the client and they said no. The theorists are worried more about self esteem than the real world applications. We are really messing up the future.
