When the 100-point grading scale emerged in the 1830s, scores centered around 50.
Decades later, it merged with A-F grades, shifting the scale upwards.
The end result? A lopsided scale that's "heavily gamed" against students.

I like this so much! @KSDEredesign
LEADERS!!! What are you SAYING to make sure that everyone KNOWS they can take a break? People won’t want to come back if they feel like they never left. WORDS MATTER. We’re all in this thing together.
