Okay, as a heads up in my county we just installed a new grading system called ISIS (Yes, it's what it is actually called, don't bother with it). Anyways, it's so that grading is not out of total points, but out of percentages for different sections of the curriculum. The percentages are typically Tests/Quizzes: 40% Projects:30% Homework: 20% Classwork, etc: 10% That being said I am a great test taker, I rarely score below a B. My projects are all over the place ranging from D's-A's. Classwork is an easy A, but HOMEWORK... I have like F-D's in almost all of my classes (except math, which I just copy a friend's before class). It sucks, because homework for 1 doesn't help me study or remember, 2 it actually lowers my grades from A's to B+'s, and B's to C's In conclusion, homework should only be for those who struggle with the material (not that I am perfect)

I mean gradebook percentages. Yes, you still get like whatever %'s, but it is not out of points for your final grade. Unlike my county's old system of let's say I got 400/500 points for the quarter than it would be 80%. Here's a good example, okay imagine you have a 0 for projects, but you have 100% in tests. You take a test and you get 100%.. Your grade does not change.
