	Helping Your Greens Make the Grade \| United States Golf Association
		This overall grade is much like a college student's final GPA or grade point average over their four years of education.
		Since the grades are obviously subjective, it is important the entire rating team participate in the evaluation process from start to finish.
		When golfers make their inevitable comparisons from one course to the next, the amount of traffic the greens must endure is the most often overlooked factor.

	Local schools make the grade
		The number of schools receiving a grade of A or B rose from 1447 in 2002 to 1799 this year, while the number of D and F schools dropped from 249 in 2002 to 176 this year.
		Students at almost every grade level tested higher in reading and math, with minority students making some of the biggest gains, according to results of the state’s standardized exams released in May. "Every grade — but for 10th grade, which was flat — every grade in math and reading there was improvement," said Governor Bush.
		Not only are district school grades determined by student scores, third-graders may be retained if they fail the reading portion of the test and high school seniors must pass the 10th grade FCAT to graduate.

	Making grades make the grade
		To be precise, what is occurring at ASU's business school is not grade "deflation" at all, but a rebalancing of the meaning of grades, which too often tend to be packed toward the top.
		But the worst offense of grade inflation - identified recently by the federal Future of Higher Education Commission as a serious and growing problem - is that it disinclines students from performing truly excellent work.
		The trend away from grades that accurately reflect work effort is a reflection of colleges treating students as customers buying an expensive product rather than strictly as students.

	Failing to make the grade - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		The number of schools making what the state calls "adequate yearly progress" toward achievement targets in standardized tests dipped by 6 percent during the past year, from 2,450 to 2,311, according to a state report released Tuesday.
		The dropoff in the number of schools making adequate yearly progress this year is tied at least, in part, to the state bumping up its standards from a year ago.
		Based on students performing at grade level, the benchmarks rose from 45 percent to 54 percent in reading and from 35 percent to 45 percent in math.

	Study Skills that Make the Grade
		Students can also make more strategic use of their study time by learning how to focus on the most important information in a lecture or textbook lesson.
		Taking notes on the main points that are outlined in textbook chapter headings and subheadings (which are often in capital letters, bold face type or italics) is an effective strategy for maximizing the value of homework.
		While it's always important to establish good study habits from the earliest grades, it becomes even more important as students reach middle and secondary school, where assignments tend to require more critical thinking and independent work by the student.

	Can't Make the Grade: NMHA State Mental Health Assessment Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In its October 2002 interim report to President George W.Bush, the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health reported that the “public mental health system is in shambles.” Only one--third of adults in the United States,and even fewer children, receive the mental health treatment they need.
		In view of these facts,instead of grading the mental health system as a whole, NMHA has evaluated states based on the priority they have given to mental health in three policy areas.
		This project was made possible by the generous funding of the W. Kellogg Foundation in collaboration with the Community Voices: Healthcare for the Underserved initiative (www.communityvoices.org).

		This year in Wisconsin, 51 schools and one school district - Milwaukee - failed to make what the U.S. Department of Education calls "adequate yearly progress." Last year, 108 schools did so.
		In other words, if there is some question of how confidently results can be regarded as unacceptable, they are treated not as questionably acceptable, but as unquestionably acceptable.
		Ken Cole, executive director of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards, said he was surprised so few schools were identified as failing to make enough progress to satisfy federal standards.
