Here are a few red flags
๐ฉ Taking off points for no names!
๐ฉ Taking off points for late work!
๐ฉ Grades associated with behavior (good or bad)!
๐ฉ Completion/Participation grades!
Grades should reflect learning. Outside factors should not be included.
For some reason this is a hot topic and tends to ruffle a few feathers, especially late work.
BUT this is not a new discussion. Read some of the "old" articles below.
Twitter is great for connecting people. There are a lot of educators that believe grades should not be punitive.
Here are a few that I have found.
