Abstract
American public schools have historically revolved around rote facts and memorization as opposed to understanding concepts or practical application of certain content. A reported letter grade and/or percentage has always been sufficient enough to communicate a student’s proficiency within the classroom. While this system of grading has existed for over one hundred years within the United States, to date there have been no meaningful research reports to support them (Marzano, 2000).
