It ' s not Greggs . <| sep |> My administration has two rules that seem in conflict for me 1 . No single assignment can be more than 15 % of the quarter grade . 2 . A quarter grade should reflect mastery and be composed 90 % of summative assessments . I have time for 23 summative assessments , and if a kid fails them , he gets an F for the quarter . But I require retakes through lunch sessions so I never get Fs unless a kid just can ' t master the content . I get heat lately because , in theory , my tests are grade killers , but I argue that they ' re also grade savers because my grade just shows mastery level . As soon as you master it you ' re grade goes up . But that doesn ' t matter because of the 15 % rule . <| sep |> Thank you D
