Survey Time



Isle of Wight Schools is considering going to a ten point grading scale. The arguments are many. Consider this: a 91 average is currently a B in this school. Under a ten point scale it would be an A!


This link will take you to the IWCS web site. Open it and look for the information on the ten point grading scale. Read about it and then take the survey! Yes, your opinion matters. For today, your post needs to do two things. First, answer this question: Did you complete the survey. Second, what do you think of the ten point grading scale. Remember 3-4 sentences and proofread!

It would be great for this to happen, but seeing how im a senior it doesnt really matter. This wouldn't effect my grades at all. They should have done this last year.

I already took the survey, last week. I think that this survey is worth it, because it is easier to get into college. Right now, I have three A's, and a B-91. If we go to the ten-point scale, it will help reduce school-related-stress. I think that many people will benefit from this survey.

Brandi and I believe that they shouldn't change the grade scale. Our grades would be very bad. We think they should just keep the grade scale since we already know whats passing and whats failing. We hope they don't change it. If they change it, students and parents would have to understand the whole process again.

Unknown said...

This would be a great thing. I took the survey, and voted for the 10 point scale. This would greatly benefit the school system.

Unknown said...

I think that the scale should go to a 10 point grading scale.It should have been that along time ago. This scale will help alot of students with their grades.

daniel fuchs said...

The survey is a good thing. I hope they change it. I liked the idea.

This would have been great last year. Since I'm a senior this year it doesn't really help me out to much. i just wish they had this idea sooner.

Unknown said...

Well... Yes i did do the survey. I think that it would be bad for it change because I don't like changes. Changes are very confusing to me. It helps other people but not me.

Unknown said...

It would be a great idea because it gives students a better chance to pass. Students wouldn't be as stressed all the time about tests. It lets the students know that people care.

jaran b said...

This change is a great idea for IWCS. This will help most students get a better chance of getting accepted to the college of their choose. I think this is a wonderful idea for our schools.

ernie said...

I have already took this survey. They should change the grading scale to a 10 point grading scale. This would increase the rate of kids graduating on time, and the rate of students going to college will increase as well. The scale should be changed to a 10 point scale.

Unknown said...

It would be awsome if they changed the grade scale. It would help me grades. I would be really happy.

Leon said...

I really like the survey. I think with that grading scale I would do a whole lot better. I would get into colleges with a better GPA.

cass said...

I think the new grading scale is a really good idea. I think it will help a lot of people out, especially me. Now I might actually get honor roll.

Jerry said...

I would love for that to happen! Most of my grades will become A's. It would make the less smart kids sem smarter.

Austin said...

I think doing a ten-point scale isn’t a good idea. Most of the administrators look at the percentage grade anyway, so there is no point. Plus, if students think it’s too easy to get an A they won’t try as hard as they would to get the regular grade scale.

quinica said...

i think its very good. i think it will help kids do better. it wouldnt effect your grades either.

Unknown said...

I think this is a good look for our school. It will improve our school G.P.A. in over all and bring more college scouts. So i say lets do it! I have completed the survey last night and agreed so go and complete this survey and give your opinion to the county!

Raheim said...

I completed the survey on the School’s website and I agree with it. I think survey is worth it because it can improve your GPA. It also gives students a better chance to pass. So I vote in favor of the 10 point grading scale.

Matthew Mims said...

I did not do they survey but i agree with the changes. It would make it a lot easier for students and teachers. Also it would make school less stressful.

Jessica said...

I did the survey today. I think that the school board should really seriously change the grading scale. I think they should change it because all the school's should have the same grading scale, so when the colleges look, it makes us have the same chances. Also we should have the grading changed because then all students will have better report cards it woulld make us all happy, and even our school probably can get more respect.

Will said...

I believe this change is necessary for the benefit of IWCS. Why should we have to compete with other schools who can have a 91 and still have an A? This would help the students out so much and ensure that college competition is fair.

Travis said...

The grading scale should be changed so people can play more sports. People can graduate
from high school and get into college. The 10 point scale is better so we can pass classes so we dont have to repeat the grade. I took the survey.

shanikaholley said...

I took the survey and I think they should change the grade scale. It will give students a good chance to pass.

rj said...

This would be a great thing. we should have done this a long time ago. The scale would will help a lot of kids with there grades.

zae said...

yes i took a look at this survey and i think it is real good. I agree to the 10 point grading scale and is very useful. You would have more people graduate and get good grades.

chris bullis said...

I already took the survey and I think we should go to a 10 point grading scale. I think It would benifit students who where on the border line of failing. Also it would heip people who where playing sports so it would be easier for them to be able to play.

keionliggins6 said...

Think the new grading scale is a really good idea. I think survey is worth it because it can improve your GPA. This would help the students out so much and ensure that college competition is fair.

Makayla said...

I completed the survey and it was very informal to me. The 10 point grading scale will help us get better grades and maybe even honor roll. It will also encourage many people to do better in school knowing that they will not have to try as hard to get an A.

Chris Stepp said...

Yes I participated in the survey. I believe we should go to 10 point grading scale. If we did I wouldn't have to worry so much about not having the grades to get into the college of my choice. My GPA would be through the roof. grading would be easier to remember as well becasue you can remember a 10 point grading scale easily.

liz said...

I took part in the survey to change the grading scale to a 10 point scale. I believe that we should change it. If it was changed, I would have straight A's. I would be accepted by more colleges.

Jake The Snake said...

I think that IWCS should have the 10-point grade scale. I think it will make it easier for people to make better grades. It will raise a lot of peoples GPA's.

Unknown said...

I am a huge supporter of a 10 point grading scale. Even though I am a senior, I would encourage the new grading scale in hopes that future seniors will have a much greater chance at getting into college versus the schools that already have the scale. I truely wish that WHS has a 10 point grading scale when I entered as a freshman.

Audrey said...

I took the survey. I like the ten point grading scale. It would be alot easier to get better grades.

Madi McFarland said...

Yes, i took the survey. I think the changing of the grading scale will help students out by making it easier to get honor roll and allowing them to go to the college of their choice with better grades. This would be a very good thing if they changed the grading scale.

Holly said...

I think they should change the grading scale because it would help people pass. Eventhough it wouldn't help the seniors graduating this year including me, but I think they should still do it. This would help students be more competitive when choosing colleges and honor roll or whatever else they want to do. This would help a lot of students in the long run.

mark said...

Yes, I took this survey. I think this survey is a great idea. I belive more kids would have much better grades.

benito said...

I think that they should change the scale. It would be amazing if it would happen. If they change the scale i would make better grades.

Honestly, if we had the 10 point grading scale, more people will be passing. I know instead of having a 70 be a D, it would be an A. I came from Maryland with the 10 point grading scale, and there were more kids graduating on time. I don't believe that changing the grading scale we'll have to re-learn the whole process again, it'll come easier to the parents, 90-100-A. It also reduces school related stress, I know I've got a lot of stress trying to get into Duke with my grades. I think that teachers will have a much easier time grading papers if we had a 10 point grading scale.

Lekedria said...

This grading scale is the best thing Isle of Wight County School's have ever thought of. So many college acceptions would be coming through the roof. This is a great idea, more kids will pass and graduate.

Novas said...

I think that it would be great if the county changed the grading scale. It would give people more chances to get scholarships and graduate on time. Also the number of sport players would increase i think dramatically.

alisareale said...

Yes, I took the survey. I think that the ten point grading scale is a wonderful idea, and Isle of Wight Schools should really put it into action. I feel as if this will bring changes to students and their grades.

Unknown said...

Well i took the servey today and i think it's a great idea. IWCS should change the grading scale because I think alot of students would benifit from it, I also think that since other school's have the 10 point scale, then Windsor should to ! !. I know i'd love for them to change it because it would make my grades even better. Who would'nt want a higher GPA ? (:

The idea of IWCS switching to a ten point grading scale is an excellent idea but in a way I do not like it. I know that with a ten point grading scale it will be easier for students to get an A or a passing grade but it kind of takes away from us. It gives to us by possibly giving IWCS a higher graduating and passing rate. It will take away from students by reducing the amount we have to work; I myself work very hard to try to get an A or a passing grade, but with a ten point scale students will not have to work as hard to achieve a 94 for an A but merely a 90.

Unknown said...

Yes, I took the survey and i think we should switch to the 10 point grading scale. The 10 point grading scale would help students get better grades and pass their classes. If the school changes to the 10 point grading scale i think it be very helpful.

Unknown said...

It would be nice for us to be able to have it sense my grades ant the best. Plus teachers would be able grade tests faster and easier. This needs to happen!!!

Unknown said...

ithink the grading scale should stay the same because students wont try as hard as they normally do. I heard of the survey and if students don't try to graduate or make good grades they wont take school as seriously. It'll be harder for students to make good grades.

lillie birdsong said...

I think having it would great! It would help kids with grades and to get into college. I took the survey but I did not understand it. There was alot on it that I didn't understand.
