         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are used to K-12 grading. We have all seen this type of grading for at least 4 years. It has been programmed into our heads that that is the only type of grading or the best type of grading . When we were told to grade another person's paper, we used K-12 since it's all we've been introduced to</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think it's difficult because we're program from a young age to look at a letter grade/percentage as a definition of our worth. It's meant to be seen as us doing good in something, whereas a less sufficient grade is often looked down on. I know for me I had family that was strict and expected me to always have good grades. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think it is difficult because in K-12 you do your work and they just grade it because you did it they really don't go in full depth and correct you or even really care about your grade. </div>]]></description>

For me it is difficult because as a student I would like to see how I am doing in the class as we continue the course.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It's difficult to transition because my parents need to see letter grade to know that their kids are doing good a school. My parents only accepted A's and B's. If the letter grade was lower, my parents will get made, so getting A's and B's was only important too me.</div>]]></description>

         <title>I think it&#39;s a challenging transition between the standard k-12 grading to contract grading because you are having to deal with a standard letter grade based off a point system. Contract grading is more that your being attentive and making the effort to tell yourself that you will commit to participate in class and do your classwork in doing better. Communication is key in class.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It might be difficult to transition to contract grading due to the fact that we were used to letter grades. With contract grading we can probably have doubts on whether or not we are improving in class since completion is what is being graded.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is difficult transitioning to a new grading system because we are used to letting a number/letter determine our worth as person. We have spent our time draining ourselves, putting at risk our mental and physical health in order to obtain an "A." We have believed that obtaining good grades throughout our education will lead us to a successful future. Yet, that is wrong. I believe that school validation or a grade does not determine our worth as a person neither our future. Doing what we can is enough. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It's always going to be difficult to change the old system, something that's people get so used to. World is changing, people is changing and we cannot be stuck in this old system. But, why we wouldn't be the one who will change that to make history. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe it's difficult to transition from K-12 grading to now contract grading because it's way more independence. Letter grades causes students to try their best to achieve the highest grade without actually understanding.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I dont think it is difficult. I feel like it it only difficult if you make it difficult. I love seeing my grades and seeing them be all A's and I did that this past semester and that is something I never got in the K-12 system. So I think that this is a better system for me.</div>]]></description>
