Ability to Calculate within 'Grades Management'

I am in grades management.  'Enter grades by student'.   It seems *very* inconvenient to have to leave this after entrering a grade and go somewhere else to calculate a calculated column.

e.g. just entered Qtr2.  Want to Calculate Semester1  ....

    It would be very nice to give the grade manager the ability to calculate Semester averages just like the teachers. I often have to enter INC after the marking period and then manually calculate what is needed. It would be nice if on a student by student basis the grade manager was able to do the calculation after the teacher has upgraded their grade books with out fuss.

    The more I work with this, the more  I'm amazed that there is NO WAY to do this as a grade manager.

    Don't schools handle grade changes after the 'grade plan'??? 

    I manage a decent-sized school (1300+) and I get grade change requests all the time.   There is *no way* to change a grade and then calculate dependent grades based on that WITHOUT:

    1. opening the grade plan(s),

    2. impersonating the teacher, doing the calculation ,

    3. Closing the grade plan(s).
