  Case: No grade lower than 60
In this school system, teachers are not allowed to give a student a grade lower than 60. How do you feel about this grading policy? It is claimed to be research-based.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To be honest, it seems like a giant lie to me. It seems like it would disillusion both students and parents about the true success the student is displaying. If I'm looking at my grades and not seeing anything too poor, I think I'm going at it correctly when in reality I'm not. We shouldn't allow students to think it's okay to do little or no work and still receive a high enough grade to get them by.
