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 would also utilize the comments section and make sure that the students and parents are aware of the actual earned grade. Make sure that students and parents are aware that this is less likely to occur in high school, and that if students are falling behind or struggling with a concept that they need to get help. |
