List and discuss three major limitations to letter grading systems
What will be an ideal response?
There are three major limitations to traditional letter grades. First, they typically represent a combination of achievement, effort, work habits, and good behavior. Second, the proportion of students assigned each letter grade varies from teacher to teacher. Third, they do not indicate a student's specific strengths and weaknesses in learning. In order to reduce the effects of these limitations, grades for effort should be eliminated. If such effort scores are to be recorded, they should exist as a separate grade from letter grades for achievement. Next, a standard school- or district-wide standard should exist for what constitutes a given letter grade. Finally, letter grades should be accompanied by another grading system, such as checklists, that outlines students' strengths and weaknesses

Leyla's biology teacher is doing a great job of not only teaching biology to hist students, but also teaching them how to learn biology. That is, how to study, test themselves, take better notes, review notes more often, and read a few sections of the biology text each night. Leyla is thrilled with her grades in biology but is not doing well in most of her other classes. It appears as if Leyla is not using what she is "learning about learning" in her other classes, such as social studies, language arts, and Spanish. Leyla is experiencing:
