Case: Bumping Grades
Ms. Butler was told by administration to bump up any report card grades that ended in a 9. For example, if a student received an 89, she was told to bump it to a 90. She was also told to bump any grades below a 60 up to a 60. For example, if a student had a 52 average, she was told to bump it to a 60. Ms. Butler does not feel comfortable doing this. What should she do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have experienced this situation. Our system allows us to place comments next to grades. So if a student earned a 52 and I had to change the grade to 60, I would type "Earned Grade 52" in the comment section. This allows me to do as my administrator requires me to do, but let the parents and others know what grade was actually earned. |

| Comments: The lowest grade we give is a 50, but the original grade is recorded in the teacher's paper grade book, and comments are placed beside the grade that has been "bumped". |

| Comments: I think this is a great way to do what you are told but also be honest and let the parents know how their child is actually doing. I think it is important to show what grade is actually being earned so that the parents have a realistic and true understanding of where their child is really at. |
