Why are students graded with letters?

You are judged thoughout life Students are given letter grades, or even number grades or the check plus system because they need feedback on how they are doing. If a student turns in homework and just gets it back with no grade, how will they know if they did it correctly? Also, how will you judge the level of mastery of a subject.

If your student has 5 classes, and they are getting a couple of A's, a B and 2 D's, you know what they need to study more and where they are doing well so you are more able to focus on areas of need. And if you fail a class or get a D, should you really be advanced to the next class, or retake the one you didn't master? Continuing on will subject a child to some serious confusion and self doubt.

If they never learn to succeed at a subject and keep moving up it will only get harder for them until they are convinced they are unable to succeed. If repeating that first section lets them understand the material, it sets them up for better successes later with much less frustration. And, in many activities in adult life (jobs, dating, sports) you are judged on your abilities.

If a person never learns how to take criticism and learn from it as a child, they will have a very difficult time coping in the adult world. Consider a low grade an opportunity to try again and improve, and a chance given to see where you need to work on something. Try to take good grades as rewards, and bad ones as a learning experience..

It is an archaic and inconsistent method of expressing a level of performance. Letter grades are a coveted fossil of an industrialized education system. Students are graded numerically.

The grades are then summarized by letters representing a numerical grade range. In some places 92 - 100 is an A. In other places 90 - 100 is an A.

Some systems state that 65 and below is an F. Others say 70 is the cut off. Letter grades have meaning only in the context of a particular grading system.

Letter grades are not transferable. No one asks what your letter grades were when you change schools, they want numbers. Why do it?

We do it to generalize a student's performance. We can say little Johnny is a B student meaning that his average grades range between two numerical values our system as labeled "B" level performance. It is much easier to discuss than saying Johnny scores between 80 and 90 in most of his classes.

Parents are fond of letter grades for much the same reason. They tell others they have an A student. That sounds better than saying she earned a 91 average.Is it acceptable?

Well evidently enough people think it is that the few movements to drop letter grades have failed. I don't think the letter system is consistent or appropriately representative of student performance. Numerical scores are more accurate and more revealing of the student's performance.
