Re: Gradebook

[Bill Tihen <bill@tasis.ch>]

Hello,

A truely useful gradebook for all teachers will be difficult, because there
are so many systems of grading.  For example there is the US system A, B,
C, D, F.  And there are US standards for what each grade gets then there
are the German grades (7 - 10) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (1 is the best), then there
is the German Abiture system (grades 11 - 13) 15, 14, .. 1 where 15 is the
best.  I am sure there are different systems everywhere.  However, too much
flexibility may lead to a difficult to use product, but just wanted to
remind poeple to think this through so that the comprimises that will have
to be made are known ahead of time.
