(FOX NEWS) – Experienced educators made their cases for the best forms of grading in a series of Fox News Digital conversations.
The debate over grading has swept institutions in recent years as schools adopt new policies that in some cases have given students more opportunities to make up or avoid poor grades. It is important for schools to get scoring right, teachers argued, because in many ways grades are the stepping stone to students' futures.
"To summarize, grades remain high stakes for students," educational author and consultant Jay McTighe told Fox News Digital. "Parents care about them. Colleges use them for admissions. And in some cases, employers look at them for employment consideration decisions. So high stakes on all fronts."
