A grading system that is starting to be adopted by high schools. Basically, homework doesn't count, only tests. Supposedly it is to prepare students for college, but it just results in failing grades. Seriously, this system is stupid. Even honor roll students are failing.
Guy 1: I'm failing Algebra 2. I missed one question on my test and my grade dropped from a B to a D. I hate Standards Based Grading.

Guy 2: You and everyone else.
