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!) At my school the lowest grade we can give on a progress report or report card is a 55. I do not feel comfortable with this either because I believe students should receive the grade they deserve. If a student gave enough effort to receive a score of a 40 then that's what they deserve. Ms Butler should do as administration has told her and bump the grades.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: i dont understand how they can say what the lowest grade possible can be Rated On: October 23, 2014 8:33 pm Rated By: Amanda Smith
