I have found a cause to fight for.

This is for all my fellow educators and education majors.

Since I have started my teaching job at St. Helena Central Middle School, I have had ample opportunity to grade tests and papers. Our grading scale is as follows:

A - 94-100
B - 85-93.5
C - 77-84.5
D - 70-76.5
F - <70 (the lowest grade we are allowed to give is a 60

wow. that's a harsh grading scale. We fail at 70 as well - but we just ignore "D" and go on a ten point scale.

90s-A
80s-B
70s-C
<70-F

I wish they'd change failure to 60 or 65. Let's get some kids out of high school!!!

That was our scale in high school, and it was annoying.
