I am just going to admit it; not grading sucks! Not grading means I cannot assign an average, translate it into a grade and be done. Not grading means I have to have anecdotal evidence to back up my final grade on the report card, anecdotal evidence I have to collect throughout the year and then actually keep in one place.
This is an interesting article. The no zero grade concept is a story in Edmonton right now. A teacher has been suspended over refusing to adhere to policy.
Yes, very interesting. I’ve been keeping up to date with all of that via Joe Bower’s blog: http://www.joebower.org
