Over 150 schools have endorsed the idea, yet the number of subscribers is fewer than 130 subscribers collected over two years.

School should not hurt, the report to the New York State Association of Independent Schools by Scott Looney, a presentation at the conference in November 2017. In this PDF, you can see the history of grading in the United States, which began in 1897 with grades at Mount Holyoke College. Before that time, teachers simply gave letters of recommendation to students when they wanted to apply to a university.

Alfie Kahn, an advocate of ending grades in school work, is quoted in this report. Examples of how the spider gram or the badges could be displayed are shown.
