  Another good artice from the post. What do you think--should grades be based solely on academic work, or on behavior and participation as well? Should an effort grade be separate? I think that the article is write when it says that teachers should be making work challanging enough for students so that they don't easily side by--but how do you do that with so many levels of students in one class? urlLink How Do You Grade Behavior?
