A fight is brewing at my grandkids school district

[dsc]

24. I have a problem with this for all assignments

but for the total grade. I was graded under a system of A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and F = 0. We had 4 quarters and a final exam with the quarters counting 2x and the final 1x. So if a student did nothing for the first two quarters, then got a D for the 3rd and 4th quarter with a D on the final they would have a D. 0 + 0 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 divide by 9 and you get 0.56 which rounds to 1 or a D. That same student would get a 100 + 100 + 120 + 120 + 60 = 500/9 = 56 which is an F.

That said, doing this assignment by assignment become problematic. First, it would be an immense amount of work to enter the grades after the fact. Second, letting students be able to pass a class with a C by doing half the assignments could be an issue and become much more of a thing under a system where this was done grade by grade.
