HOW LATE PAPERS FIT INTO A GRADING POLICY

What role should responsibility issues of students play within the grading structure? Are we grading all aspects of the child, or are we looking at content mastery? Grade level standards should provide the basis for determining grades. There should be some performance standards as the reference points when determining the grades. Given clear descriptions of the performance standards, then grades will reflect that accordingly.
