why the heck grading systems change
    #7720194 - 12/05/07 03:39 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

First in elementary school it was E for excelent S for satisfactory, T for something I forget (Not terrible), maybe time needed. I think that was as low as it went. I was not in special ed, Just rural America...

Then halfway through elementary school they switched it to the normal A, B, C, D, F.

middleschool and highschool was % out of 100.

Then College is in form of GPA. Even when Highschool transcripts are transferred, they even translate the percentages to GPA

In elementary school I got checks, check-pluses, and minuses. It felt silly.

Schools can really underestimate kids.

They lay it on you nicely in small increments so your feelings aren't hurt.  (how valuable you are compared to the other children) :crazy:

On the cosmic scale there is only pass/fail; i.e. heaven/hell or existence/nonexistence.

Yea I was kind of thinking along those lines. Of course its an image thing, I guess they all do the job. Maybe its a good thing, keeping us out of the grind, like were not preparing for college in kindergarden. Live in the now you know?

Pah! Yea right, like they wanna keep us out of the grind...

Maybe they do it to keep us feeling unaccomplished and unsatisfied with the level of education we are at. Always move us foward toward that great singularity of the American dream. That sounds alot more like modern education to me, keeping us working hard, living towards the future; working our asses off with a reward system that is absolute yet transitory.

two sides of the same coin, Idk what to think.
