EducationGrading & Assessment3MediumTeacher$ implied

High school teachers lack guidance and tools to fairly assign final grades to students added to their roster in the last weeks of the school year with no prior grade data.

School counseling and grading systems provide no structured framework or support for evaluating late-enrolled students, forcing teachers to rely on guesswork and potentially inequitable decisions.
