In this day of spread sheets, go back to the practice of averaging across all the numerical scores achieved in their individual classes during the high school years. This as opposed to averaging across letter grades. I.e. I got a 94.6 in Latin II as opposed to a 3 given to a B grade today. Tough school back in those days, took a 95 or better to get an A, and they did not round up.
Our report cards listed numerical grades with ranges for letter grades noted on the back.
There will never be a tie, and we'll only have to listen to two speeches.
I'm not a fan of rated classes either. A kid that wants to be a farmer should have the same opportunities as those aspiring to be physicists.
