Teacher needs a practical way to implement standards-based grading with grade determination (mode vs. mean) and admin pressure to inflate grades, lacking clarity from admin.

Existing gradebook software typically uses mean or weighted average, not mode, and doesn't support standards-based grading policies with customization for admin override pressures.
