What do you mean how fair is that? That's exactly 100% fair!! I'm tired of this pandering to students, for this reason: If they actually get a 30, and we display a 60...so they work really hard for ten more points improvement. Then, they get a 40, or even a 45! Yet we still must adjust to...you got it...60.

How's that for a self esteem boost?

Give children the grades they deserve, it's better in the long run.
