<p>Wow, that made my day.</p>
<p>My school district has a set policy for grades. It's the same for every class. We have these things called "daily grades" which are usually quizzes or homework or other miscellaneous items, and then "major grades" which are tests and projects. There are usually about 3-5 major grades and 6-10 daily grades per grading period (9 weeks), and to find your average, you find your daily grade average, and then your major grade average and average those two averages together. Major grades only count more because there are less of them.</p>
