+# Grade School
+
+Given students' names along with the grade that they are in, create a roster
+for the school.
+
+In the end, you should be able to:
+
+- Add a student's name to the roster for a grade
+  - "Add Jim to grade 2."
+  - "OK."
+- Get a list of all students enrolled in a grade
+  - "Which students are in grade 2?"
+  - "We've only got Jim just now."
+- Get a sorted list of all students in all grades.  Grades should sort
+  as 1, 2, 3, etc., and students within a grade should be sorted
+  alphabetically by name.
+  - "Who all is enrolled in school right now?"
+  - "Grade 1: Anna, Barb, and Charlie. Grade 2: Alex, Peter, and Zoe.
+    Grade 3…"
+
+Note that all our students only have one name.  (It's a small town, what
+do you want?)
+
+## For bonus points
+
+Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these
+are some additional things you could try:
+
+- If you're working in a language with mutable data structures and your
+  implementation allows outside code to mutate the school's internal DB
+  directly, see if you can prevent this. Feel free to introduce additional
+  tests.
+
+Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this
+experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?
+
+## Exception messages
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to raise an exception. When you do this, you should include a meaningful error message to
+indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. Not
+every exercise will require you to raise an exception, but for those that do, the tests will only pass if you include
+a message.
+
+To raise a message with an exception, just write it as an argument to the exception type. For example, instead of
+`raise Exception`, you should write:
+
+```python
+raise Exception("Meaningful message indicating the source of the error")
+```
+
+## Running the tests
+
+To run the tests, run the appropriate command below ([why they are different](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1629#issue-161422224)):
+
+- Python 2.7: `py.test grade_school_test.py`
+- Python 3.4+: `pytest grade_school_test.py`
+
+Alternatively, you can tell Python to run the pytest module (allowing the same command to be used regardless of Python version):
+`python -m pytest grade_school_test.py`
+
+### Common `pytest` options
+
+- `-v` : enable verbose output
+- `-x` : stop running tests on first failure
+- `--ff` : run failures from previous test before running other test cases
+
+For other options, see `python -m pytest -h`
+
+## Submitting Exercises
+
+Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the `$EXERCISM_WORKSPACE/python/grade-school` directory.
+
+You can find your Exercism workspace by running `exercism debug` and looking for the line that starts with `Workspace`.
+
+For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting,
+please see [Running the Tests](http://exercism.io/tracks/python/tests).

+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
