Question

Should Students Receive Letter Grades?

Many schools today are reassessing whether to continue giving students letter grades or to move to a standards-based method of reporting student progress. In class, students are taught standards, or certain skills that students should know or be able to do, and these standards are what they should master. They also get tested on the standards. However, students receive letter grades on their report cards, and these letter grades represent how well a student has mastered the standards based on scores on homework, tests, quizzes, and classwork. However, these assignments may be different from class to class and school to school. Teachers may give grades differently, so grading this way isn't really equal. Reporting students' progress and success based on whether they have mastered the standards prevents inconsistencies in scoring. Since teachers are teaching standards, it makes the most sense to report whether students have mastered what the teacher has taught.
One thing that's bad about standards-based reporting is parents are used to getting letter grades for their children. Parents would need to receive a clear explanation of what the standards mean and how the new reporting method is used. However, once everyone is used to this new method of reporting, it will provide a more accurate way of reporting student progress.
