Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade.
统一政策制定了一项僵化的规定，要求除了一些高级课程外，家庭作业在学生的学业成绩中所占比例不得超过10%。
Conversely, if homework matters, it should account for a significant portion of the grade.
相反，如果作业确实重要，它就应该占成绩的很大一部分。
Grade inflation - the gradual increase in average GPAs (grade-point averages) over the past few decades - is often considered a product of a consumer era in higher education, in which students are treated like customers to be pleased.
成绩膨胀——过去几十年平均绩点（GPA）的逐渐上升——通常被认为是高等教育消费时代的一种产物，在这个时代里，学生被视为需要取悦的客户。
But another, related force - a policy often buried deep in course catalogs called "grade forgiveness" - is helping raise GPAs.
但另一个相关因素——一种常被深藏在课程目录中的政策，称为"成绩宽恕"——正在帮助提高绩点。
Grade forgiveness allows students to retake a course in which they received a low grade, and the most recent grade or the highest grade is the only one that counts in calculating a student's overall GPA.
成绩宽恕允许学生重修他们曾获得低分的课程，而在计算学生的总体绩点时，只计算最近一次或最高一次的成绩。
