STANDARD BASED GRADING...by Rebekah Harness

  Not a while ago we started the standard based grading. Since we've had this I think it's been great because you get to see what you've been struggling with in each individual subject instead of having the teacher go back and tell you what you need to reassess on so you have a more clearer understanding. But I've also found it quite stressful because if I were to have one bad grade on a test, if my family were to see it they would think of it as my final grade before I would have the chance to explain to them that it was one test and not my final grade.
