Graded or Degraded: Perceptions of Letter-Grading for Mainstreamed Learning-Disabled Students.
Selby, Deborah; Murphy, Sharon
B.C. Journal of Special Education, v16 n1 p92-104 1992
This study of six mainstreamed students (in grades six and eight) with learning disabilities, their parents, and their teachers found considerable confusion and ambiguity concerning the impact of letter grades on students with learning disabilities. Students tended to feel helpless to achieve high grades yet blamed themselves for low grades. (Author/DB)
