Homeschool-Friendly Colleges and Universities that Don’t Give Grades
A number of reputable liberal arts colleges either de-emphasize the use of grades or do not issue any grades at all. They often use narrative evaluations as an alternative measurement system. In most cases, the rationale is that grades do not provide a clear picture of academic aptitude or the potential for success – and that the goal of a liberal education should be learning, not achieving the highest score. These colleges range from private to public, conservative to progressive, and Christian to secular, but they share a common educational philosophy in that they don’t follow a standard letter or number grading format. Alverno College (Milwaukee, WI) is a private Roman Catholic college with a student-centered … Read entire article »

Grades can be assigned in letters (A, B, C, D, F), in percentages (0%-100%), as a numerical range (1.0-4.0), or as descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement). To arrive at a final grade, teachers often use a points-based system for … Read entire article »

Readers Write: Lost
Lost by Katie, 14 Sharp, bitter, and cruel It is spoken in haste, Clawing and tearing The heart. A barb in the flesh, Buried deep down inside Never to surface again.
