And in hindsight, that 7th grade feeling has driven a lot of my interest in assessment ever since. (It's the flip side of annoyance at a HS teacher who only ever graded grammar and never said anything about substance.)

This reminds me that in 7th grade, early 70s, our science teacher used contract grading and I can't tell you how much nerdy me loved it. She said
it was a process that some high schools used, and we were ready for it, and I felt so much like I was leveling up to a great new world. I could decide!
