I hate the idea of giving my students a grade for an assignment and moving on to the next assignment and a new grade. I love the idea of ever changing grades, giving them the opportunity to show understanding of the concept. We know that children develop at different rates. So if a child learns a topic later through peer, more assistance or other ways they should be able to get a better grade.

Grades should be written in pencil and we should ditch the pens. We want out students to continue to work hard and continue to learn so grades should be continually changing.
