It could be why my kids are pushing for us to move to Canada! HAHA!

Seriously, some schools are trying that in the USA as well. The mind set is that if you don't give a failing grade.....kids won't fail. Some schools have also quit grading with red markers/pens due to it giving a negative feeling.

Personally, I think it's a bunch of CRAP!
