wow what great benefits

Lately, my grade has been combining different subjects. I find this to be (most of the time) unecessary and with no benefits for the most part.  Although there are exceptions, such as using mathematics in science, most of the time the subjects should stick to themselves because that's what the teacher specializes in and if you are graded for a different subject than the one you're in, than the grade doesn't properly reflect how good or bad you are in that subject.  Things that may be related should be mentioned, but you shouldn't spend a science unit on a history subject unless you're only looking at the science of it. And if you are having a joint project, than the project should be graded separately, not as a single grade that they share.  Say I write a paper for any subject, the punctuation and spelling should affect your english grade while your research and point prove the other subject. Some may say that being graded on punctuation will prepare you for what they do in college, but that's what my english class is for.
