Speaking of SE and reliability issues, our local high school has a
grading program that calculates the precentage grade to 3 decimal places
and letter-grade distinctions are based on these fine distinctions.
My son received a 'B' (in psychology) because he missed the cutoff for
an 'A' by less than 0.25%!

The general question is this:
When we calculate a final percentage grade, how reliable is it? Another
way of putting this is: What is the standard error of measurement?
Sincerely,
Stuart
