    Yes thank you. The most rational take on here. My kids’ school grades everything on a 4 point rubric. All tests have a rubric and all the teachers use that for each assignment. It clearly spells out what the teacher is looking for and every entry on the rubric is linked to a state standard. They mark where the student is for each listed standard on a scale from 0 to 4. Doing poorly on a test hurts your grade but it doesn’t destroy it.

      Yes. 100% this. Our child’s school district does a 4 point rubric as well. It’s so much more meaningful and you can really do something about it if there’s a pattern in the wrong direction. I’m surprised no one else mentioned this.
