    Comments: The grade scale needs to be consistent within state and with other states. Otherwise, our children will be at a disadvantage when competing for college admissions, scholarships, and honors programs.

    Comments: We have lived in several states and nowhere were grade scales as high as VA. I believe (like many other states) 92% is an "A", not "B".

    Comments: I believe the grading scale should be consistent across the country. Most school districts use the 10-point scale.

    Comments: I strongly agree with the 10 point grading scale. It not only allows our children to be more competitve when it comes to college placement but it also helps their self esteem. It is also a strong motivator for kids if they see themselves doing well in their classes, which a 3-4 point difference will make.

    Comments: Being a military family and having our children transfer to different school systems, the grading scale has become an important issue. Our daughter, who is a Freshman and has an IEP, found it very difficult to adapt to the 6-point grading scale of Virginia Beach schools. All of the previous school systems that she had been in (Anne Arundel Co., MD and Poway Unified, CA) had a 10-point grading scale. Our concern, like so many others, is how it will affect our children getting into college. Please consider changing the grading scale to help our children have a better chance of continuing their education and having greater success.

    Comments: This should be made retroactive for all of our current high school students who have recieved lesser grades and GPA"s overe the course of thier studies. Otherwise they will not be able to fairly compete for college entrance and scholarships.

    Comments: We need to have a fair and balanced chance for our children to access the university system. Please change to a 10 point scale to ensure that we are fairly allocated our stae educational resources. Ken Cummings

    Comments: I fully support the 10 point grading system for the Virginia Beach School system. I have a 9th and 7th grade student. One with a 93% in geometery!

    Comments: If the rest of the country as well as Northern Virginia have the 10 point scale, than it puts our students at a disadvantage with the current system. This seems like a simple fix to an ongoing problem!

    Comments: We have lived in a number of states and school districts around the country - this is the only place without the 10 pt grading scale. Also, colleges (including Virginia colleges) use the 10 pt scale. The scale we currently use makes no sense.
