Sounds like the 'No Zeroes' policy is pretty common then. Even that doesn't make much sense to me. The 'No Grades' thing just made me want to tear my hair out.

I think what drives me most insane about this is the fact that someone getting 100% will be judged equal to some shmoe who eeked through with 51%. Life is based on the very idea of being better and worse at things. Someone who is really exceptional at something does deserve recognition. To lump everyone into two groups might actually cause a regression of intelligence. Smart people are going to start thinking that the extra effort will mean precisely nothing.
Then we'll really be in trouble.

Yeah, the teachers here are basically going to have to allow the same. They're going to have to deal with this crap and just take it. I could see some teachers quitting over this, cause there are those who actually want to help the really good students succeed. That might not be allowed now. Seriously.
Also, agreed, though there aren't actually a huge amount of religious schools here. Most end up going to public school, even here.

I also think that if you do badly, you should be graded badly. There are those who have difficulty, yes, but there are classes for those with learning disabilities and what not. Honestly, when I was in school? The people who failed did so because they just didn't want to be there and couldn't care less. This entire thing seems like a method of ensuring maximum funding at the cost of ensuring the best and brightest coming out of the schools. The whole thing is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
