  Case: Grading Requirements
Mrs. Smith and Mr. Brown both teach third grade. Mrs. Smith has 14 grades in Reading at the midpoint of the semester. Mr. Brown only has 5. As parents get their students grades they realize many students in Mrs. Smith's class are doing well and Mr. Brown has only 3 that are passing his class. Should the teachers have the same amount of grades?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my school system, teachers are required to have a minimum number of grades per subject area. This cuts down on the complaints from parents about their child not having enough opportunities to bring up his or her grade. It really keeps teachers from giving a few large assignments throughout the grading period. We are required to give a specific number of formative grades and a specific number of summative grades as well as a specified number of grades that must come from rubrics.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. There should be a minimum amount and I also believe that having different grading measures allows the teacher to better assess the students' performance.
