Grade Scale Change (OC)

Grade scale change makes what is referred to as "What in previous decades would have been referred to as "a gentleman's C" is now barely enough to get passed on to the next grade" in some schools. Grade scale changes have many bad effects. I am going to write about the affect of the grade scale change in schools in comparison to schools where there is still no grade scale change. Also about the effect grade scale change has on both ends of the spectrum. Also, about the disadvantage the gradescale change has on students when applying for college.

First in schools where grade scale has changed the comparison with other students from schools who have yet to make the change is tricky. What would be considered a B in a school where grade scale change has not occurred could be considereda C in a school where grade scale change has occurred. This could make students who have average grades in school's where no grade scale change has occured barely pass in school's where it has.

Second grade scale change could effect students on both ends of the spectrum could be affected. In some school's a person needs a seventy-five to pass. This could cause average students to fail. Students who make ninetys and call them A's would no longer be able to do that.

Third grade scale change puts students at a disadvantage when applying for college. Most college grade on the ten point scale. When a college receives an application the college does not always know if the student had come from a grade scale changed school. A student who makes C's at one school may be just as good as a student who makes B's at another.

I wrote about comparison of student at grade scale change schools with other schools, can affect students on both ends of the spectrum, and puts students at a disadvantage when applying for college. Grade scale changes are not good.
