Grading

In my opinion, the purpose of grading is to show how well each student is understanding the teacher's lessons.  This can tell the teacher whether or not they need to embellish on the topic that is being taught.  The reason why we are graded out of 100 is because of the grading system out of 100%.  The traditional grading system doesn't accurately assess someones knowledge because they don't measure creativity.  The regular grading systems are working fine, but I definitely think that there should be opportunities to include creativity into grades as well.  This could work if it was used as an extra credit assignment or it was incorporated into science or history projects.  Grading is very important, and everyone has their own opinion on how it should be accomplished.
