MY high school principal told me NEVER to be a Quitter!

Levity aside, I think eliminating “D” grades is a good idea. As long as they don’t also eliminate “F”.

So they can rescale everything, no doubt.

A - 100-80
B - 79-60
C - 59-40
F - 39

They need to make each week a step toward a goal. All lectures will be on play back. If you don’t get it you don’t go on.

well, you've performed below average, you haven't really met the standard, but you're passing,

Is this the crap that passes for logic these days?

You can argue that the standard is too low if you want, but you have, in fact, set the standard, which is "D" = passing.

Remember what you call the person who graduates at the bottom of the class in medical school...doctor.

[Jack Hammer]

Just give everyone an “A” - problem solved, and it eliminates the need to study or learn anything.

High School grades are somewhat relevant for College admissions and not much else.

The “D” should stay, it means get off your but and get to work. You can do better.

BEWARE of grading changes. They are Never good

I'm not sure how the High Schools in our district does it, but my son's elementary school does it this way.

Grading (Kent, WA Elementary Schools) Notice there is no “failed”

That is silly. There has to be a line.The score that is barely above that line is passing. Below it is failing. If you must fail barely pass then the line moves up to the top to where one person in the class pass with 100% or maybe not even him because that would be barely passing, i.e. the new D.
