ESSAY: “ROUNDING OF
GRADES”
By: Irays Gómez
In Article 212 of the new regulation of the law of intercultural education states that any
student who has a grade with a tenths greater than .5 to .9 is rounded qualification
regardless of the situation, many teachers disagree with this new law and that it is unfair
that some students achieve a good grade for the effort and that some who do not make a
good qualification
only by the law that has just been established.
Other teachers find it a favorable change for students since many times they only
need a few simple tenths to pass and teachers see it as something positive.
It is also reported that those who will pass the school term with an average of less
than ten points will have the opportunity to take a recovery exam, which will have to be
done fifteen days after the grades are raised, this is not the case of the cetys but many
schools if they carry them out.
Many teachers do not see it convenient or just that only whole numbers are allowed
on the ballots. Believe that each teacher has to round up in a way he thinks is convenient. it
can be found with students who with a 9.25 have a final grade of 10 and others who with a
9.7 have a final grade of 9.
