It seems like grading is one of those things that gets easier with practice.
There's a renowned private school in Brooklyn known as St. Ann's, in which no grades are ever given. (The Catholic-sounding name of the school is misleading; the school in fact has no connections to any religious group. However, when they first started, around forty-ish years ago, they were renting space from a church known as St. Ann's, so they became known as "the St. Ann's School". The name stuck. This being New York, many of the students in the school are non-Christian, and I even know a very famous couple of frum Jewish educators who sent their eldest child there for a number of years.)The school goes from Pre-K through 12th grade, and apparently, colleges are willing to accept the teacher-reports about 12th-graders in lieu of GPAs.
But wait-- taylweaver has been searching for jobs in NYC schools for the last few months, so she probably knows all this already. I do not need to bore you with information you already know....
