curve
By bamateach

Clip to ScrapBook   
I agree that it is just not a good idea to grade on a curve. The only time I ever do a curve is when one of the test items is incorrect or very confusing. Generally if I feel that my whole class didn't do well on a test then I go back and reteach the concept and later retest. If I have a good range of grades I give them the grade they have earned. At times I may reteach a small group and give them back their tests to make corrections. I then average the two grades together to some up with their new grade.
