ETHS 120.13 Why do you think it’s difficult to transition from k-12 grading now to contract grading? by Arianna Quetzal Vargas https://padlet.com/avargas224/9snprqg1gc2ku04d Made with an aura of mystery en-us 2022-01-26 19:59:32 UTC 2024-12-18 14:03:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Grades have always been such a big factor for me my whole life.

So, I really don't have an issue with the contract grading. it can be difficult for others because they go based on that grade. if you got an A is successful and if you got an F you failed which is shouldn't a problem because little by little you will get there if you really try your best.
