    Help , Help! We are having some disagreement at our school on how the students
    that are in the inclusion program are to be graded. Currently they are to get
    a letter grade with a special modification comment attached to the grade. One
    comment states that the curriculum has been significantly modified and the
    other states that the student is basically following the reg.ed curriculum with
    some modifications.
    The current discussion I am having with the special ed teacher regards an
    autistic student who she thinks should get an A because they think he is
    working very hard. He is doing all the same assignments as the other kids, but
    has his own aide. Should he get an A with the comment about curriculum being
    significantly modified?
    She asked me if only gifted students get A's. I replied that students that
    also go above and beyond the criteria can get A's. Yes, he is working well,
    but I don't think an A fits.
    Then I have other teachers telling me who cares what he gets. Don't lose sleep
    over it. Just give him the grade the teacher wants. This whole area of grading
    our inclusive students is new, since we just started inclusion. So what's
    going on with all of your schools involving this area?
