FIAE Chapter 12

Chapter twelve goes into detail about the two different approaches to grading, the four point scale, and the 100 point scale. It discusses the differences between the two and why each one is used. It also talks about why teachers like each one of these grading scales, and why they do not like them. I personally like the 100 point grading scale because it is easier for me to understand, and easier for me to average, especially in the grade level that I am going to be teaching. When I was in middle school, if I saw a 4.0 on my paper I would have no idea what that meant. If I did that to my own students I feel as if I would have to spend so much time explaining how to use this grading scale when they already know what getting a 100 on a paper is!
