Report Cards Give Up As and Bs for 4s and 3s (N.Y. Times)

<p>Our system does not seem extremely fair, either. The cut-off is 89.5 for an A which is .5 of a pt. on that gpa. My daughter told me she has an 89.4. I would think a teacher could give the tenth of a pt. but all of their grades are submitted weekly and averaged by computer, so the teacher cannot go and just “give” anything, although she probably understands that the system is not as fair as it could be if they added +/- grades.</p>
