Borodog,

I am sure you have experience with this:

What is the procedure if the test averages are around 40%?

My test averages average 50%, by design. I just give the top 10% As, the next 20% Bs, the next 40% Cs, the next 20% Ds, and the lowest 10% fail.

she's not a math person. that's why she's not going to be a math teacher. she's a terrific piano player. ... haven't you ever taken a class that you had no interest in taking and were unsure of how to do something? there's no difference.

So she loves music but is so poor at math she can't even assign grades in her own class. I guess you just proved why just because you aren't a "math person" or math teacher, you still need basic mathematical skills.

I'm not an English teacher but still think its important to understand English.

Being good at something doesn't automatically qualify a person to teach it. Teaching is a separate skillset.
