Anyone know how a 4-category scale is different than letter grades? Not saying it isn't, it just isn't clear in the article.
Hopefully it's a step toward having fewer grades at all. There's a lot of research showing how harmful extrinsic rewards are to children's motivation to learn.

Yeah... It's a pretty poorly written article isn't it?
If you find something that describes it better please don't hesitate to post it.
