I have my Y9 sons report in front of me and it has indicator grades/ current attainment grades for the subjects - obviously important as ds is choosing his GCSE options.Now as they are no numerical I am finding it a bit odd that they are still using a minus sign as part of the grading.
So for an example they would put 6- which is equivalent to B-? But if you are using numerical grades surely it should be 5.5!?? as a negative number 6- would be way below zero?!? Obviously I am overthinking it and I do understand what they are putting - but If they are getting rid of letter grades then they should not be using minus signs still. In my opinion it is a half arsed approach to something that has been a massive arseache already!

AIBU?
am I being pedantic about this?
