Should a 10-Point Grading Scale Be The Standard?

[Ares]

And while history is more subjective...

The history taught in the classroom though should not be, as I am not a fan of discussing things like unspoken motives. Who was the X president of the United States or who were the major countries that were a part of the Axis powers during WWII should be objective answers.

Unless and until you go to totally standardized syllabi and course descriptions and have common marking of exams (see: AP, CLEP exams, A-levels, etc), this is just unnecessary regulation by the government.

You run into issues were states on a 7-point grading scale put their students at a disadvantage when competing with students from neighboring states who use a 10-point grading scale for college admissions and scholarships. The grading scale differences can also hurt a student moving to a different school district.
