of having a letter grade, I believe we should keep it that was rather then changing it to a pass or fail grade. The past years of having a letter grade has an amazing positive side and that pass or fail grade just doesn’t has a lot of positives. Some of the positives in a letter grade is getting into colleges you want so your future and knowing where you are at in the class.

The Limits of the Pass/Fail Grading System Pass or Fail Classes are beginning to be used all over the country, but they are not always the best option. Instead of a grading system, a student only receives a “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” on his or her paper. Pass or Fail classes limit motivation, do not have a fair grading system, and it is harder for a student to judge what he or she is good at. One reason that pass or fail classes are not a good option for classrooms is that students would

The idea behind the rule ‘no pass/no drive’ is to help encourage high schoolers to get and maintain good grades and attendance by taking their privilege of driving away if they don’t. However, it doesn’t seem like the best way to go. If this law were to pass in California, there would be more problems than solutions. High schoolers would have trouble getting to destinations (jobs) they need to get to, there would be no tutoring offered, and it would actually only help a very few amount of students

The members of each team passed a basketball to one another following a specific order:

History’s first written records of salt appeared in China, around 4,700 years B.C.E. Salt played a major role in ancient history, especially in Roman and Egyptian cultures. Citizens of Rome and Egypt commonly used salt as trade goods, currency for soldiers, religious offerings, and
School is among them. Within recent times, there has been a petition in motion for changing from the standard A, B, C, D and F grading system to the plain pass/fail system.While the pass/fail system has its advantages, the standard grading system shows that it is clearly the best way to measure the understanding of a student.

A new grading policy that replaces letter grades with pass or fail will not help, but hurt students in the long run. Letter grades promote students to do well in school whereas pass or fail would create laziness. With letter grades, it is easy for students to look at their weak and strong points.
