Do all teachers use the same grading system?
No. Each teacher has his/her own grading system. Some teachers work on a straight points system while others weight the scores according to assignment categories (Homework, Tests, etc.). Some grades are given for class participation while others do not. Some teachers will not accept late work and some will with point deductions. Our teachers inform all of their students at the beginning of the course of their expectations and grading scheme for the year. It is very important for parents to read the grading information contained in the class syllabus.
