Special education teachers are used to grading based on effort, motivation and the abilities of their students. In contrast, general education teachers consider grades:

◦ as accurately reflecting an individual
s strengths and weaknesses.
◦ from the perspective of a uniform set of expectations.
◦ to be adjusted according to individual needs.
◦ as a way of separating poor students from good ones.
