After SPIN! Video: Should schools drop the A - F grading system?

After SPIN! "Question to Cash Michaels and Phil Kirk –A Raleigh Middle School is dropping the A through F grading system for next year because they say it doesn’t provide enough information about how students are doing and can discourage students who have low grades. In their place teachers will check off whether a student is progressing, meeting or exceeding expectations in each subject. Some say we are more worried about the child’s ego than in giving traditional assessments and that the new system isn’t any more specific than the old one. What say you?"
