There's a girl in my French class who has a 89.9% right now. She does all of the homework and particpates during class every single day, but the way our school weights tests and homework brought her average down. Our teacher refuses to round it to an A, which I think is absolutely ridiculous because she's such a good student.

I'd round that, but that's a fairly rare case. A lot of teachers at my school make Homework/participation a percentage of the grade and it's ridiculous when kids expect a 79.4 to be rounded up because it's so close.

At my school as long as long as it's a 9.5 it rounds up. She would have an A, someone with a 79.5 would have a B, someone with a 69.5 would have a C, etc.

Im looking at the requirements for A, B, C grades at your school and crying. My school has A at 93 or higher. B as 85 and up. C 80 and up. D 70 and up. F 69 and below. Plus no teachers round the tenth place decimal. Only the hundredths place decimal.

Why is that so bad? Your grade system makes less sense. The A and B ranges are 8 points, the C is 6 points, and the D is 10 points. Why so arbitrary? Also, it up to the teacher's discretion if they want to round or not. Typically it's 90-100 for an A, 80-89 for a B, 70-79 for a C.

Oh, well in that case, I agree. It is much better. I'd hate to have your grading system.

In the high school I'm from, that would round up to an A. (Anything that's an 89.5 and up would.) I think teachers should be able to choose whether they want to round in most cases. (For example, if someone got an 89.0, the teacher could choose to be nice and round it up to a 90 or just keep it as it is.)

There was this one girl who was valedictorian She was an upperclassman too but she had a 89.4 the teach would have given her an A if she has a 89.5 and then she lost her title she was .1 away from keeping her title but she still got straight A's the rest of her high school career except that one blemish I think it all worked out for her even if she was salutatorian she had a extra curricular activities and all that good stuff and she's been successful in college as far as I know she proved that there's more to doing well than a title

The computer systems for our school already do that.

89.9% isn't rounded up to a 90% for you? That's the difference between a B+ and an A- for me.

Nope, most teachers at my school don't round. A few do, but I don't have any who do.

Wow that's crazy. By rounding grades I thought you meant like 76 rounds to 80 or something. Maybe that's why you're downvoted.

Haha, no, //that// would be stupid. Is that what a lot of NW-ers really thought?
