Las Notas hay que sudarlas

I don’t see why there are so many complaints about that situation. I think that's the best way to measure the students' performance. It is actually more accurate than the other method...
If we want to hear a lie about our children’s performance, then we can use the other method. But since I want to see the reality behind all of this, I rather see the real percentage, even if I don’t like the outcome.
Why I think it’s more accurate? Check this out: The following will be a hypothetical case of the score of one student in one class.

Test No 1 [A =4] [A= 100]
Test No 2 [A =4] [A =90 ]<< Same grades in both >>
Test No 3 [A =4] [A =93 ]
Test No 4 [B =3] [B =89 ]
Test No 5 [B =3] [B =85 ]
Test No 6 [B =3] [B =80 ]
-------------- ----------------
[6 /21] [539]
--------------- -----------------
[21/6=3.50] [539/600=.89]
Final Score [3.50 = A] [.89 = B]

Now imagine that those grades will be the same grades for the other classes. This is what we’re going to have:
Final Grade class 1 [3.5 = A = 4] [.89 = B ]
Final Grade class 2 [3.5 = A = 4] [.89 = B ]
Final Grade class 3 [3.5 = A = 4] [.89 = B ]
Final Grade class 4 [3.5 = A = 4] [.89 = B ]
Final Grade class 5 [3.5 = A = 4] [.89 = B ]
-------------- ------------------
Final Score [5/20 = 4.00 = A ] [445/500 = .89 = B]

There’s the difference: A student that was said to be an A student (4.00) now is a B student (.89). But the reality behind this, is that that students was never an A student, he/she was living in a lie, the sad reality was, that he/she actually was a B student.

So, analyzing this, I want to see the real performance of my son. I don’t want to believe he is something that he really isn’t. My reaction, ha! Still asking: I’m glad that method is finally applied in PR.
