The ways that people make the most of Hispanic Heritage Month include researching about the impact and history of Hispanic culture, icons, businesses, and traditions.

Grades are a method of quantifying student success and achievements. Many students view grading as a burden and, at times, a reflection of how badly they have failed. However, many teachers often disagree, saying that grading provides students with a reflection of what needs to be improved.

As a result of these differing viewpoints, student opinions on grading at OHS vary quite a lot. Some students agree that the grading is too harsh while others say that it is acceptable given the rigor of the classes. In this article, we’ll look at some student opinions on the grading at OHS.
