Answer to Question 1

There are three major limitations to traditional letter grades. First, they typically represent a combination of achievement, effort, work habits, and good behavior. Second, the proportion of students assigned each letter grade varies from teacher to teacher. Third, they do not indicate a student's specific strengths and weaknesses in learning. In order to reduce the effects of these limitations, grades for effort should be eliminated. If such effort scores are to be recorded, they should exist as a separate grade from letter grades for achievement. Next, a standard school- or district-wide standard should exist for what constitutes a given letter grade. Finally, letter grades should be accompanied by another grading system, such as checklists, that outlines students' strengths and weaknesses

Answer to Question 2

Agree
