We should replace number grades with letter grades.
I disagree with this opinion statement. Before we had letter grades within Elementary and Middle School and I didn't like that as much as number grades. The letter grades have a bigger range while the number grades are straight to the point. With the range of numbers, it was hard to see if you barely received a B+, which had a range of 87-89, or you were one point away from receiving an A-. The number grades are much better because it shows if you need to improve by a few points or how well you are doing. The number grades seem to make more sense because teachers just need to enter the grades on gradespeed at the computer does the calculating for us. In middle school, I would always go and ask a teacher for my number average to see how well I was doing or if a needed to improve. The number grades just seem to make more sense then letter grades.
