The Tyee dives into the debate about whether the new model is a necessity or a nuisance.

“Percentage grades make it possible to differentiate between good work and excellent work more precisely than vague descriptors such as ‘emerging’ and ‘developing,”

This is a dumb take. No one in grade k-9 needs more specificity than the four labels coupled with teacher input. I suspect the people who are against this change are simply against change.

I mean, I’ve been on percentages for pretty much my entire life. It’s worked out just fine.

I honestly though letter grades were an American thing
