The idea
Grading requires choices about weighting components and whether to include social skills, effort and improvement; mixing achievement with such factors produces hodgepodge grading, a grade that means different things for different students.
In practice
Two students earn a B, one for strong work, one for effort on weak work.
Where people slip
A grade communicates best when its meaning is clear.
