A teacher cannot enter a grade lower than 1.5 in a 1-4 grading scale, even when a student deserves a zero for doing no work.
The school's grading software enforces an arbitrary minimum grade of 1.5, which conflicts with the teacher's professional judgment and the stated 1-4 scale. The software lacks the flexibility to enter a grade that accurately reflects a student's zero effort, preventing accurate record-keeping and potentially inflating grades.
