Our thinking…
• Our customers deserve to know what a grade means.
• Grades are more transparent than ever before. So, what they mean should be clear.
• A leader’s philosophy on grading practices should not be a mystery.
• Common sense is not always common.

“Averaging is not typical of the working world;
for example, we do not average praxis scores when teachers re-take tests
orwhen lawyers re-take the bar
examination.”
