"The researchers then sorted the teacher sample into four comparison groups, ranging from the easiest graders to the hardest, and charted the trajectories of their respective students before and after they took Algebra I. Disproportionately, the teachers grouped in the “toughest” quarter were likelier to be white, female, and more experienced than the sample as a whole."

Veteran urban public school teacher here. In the old days administrators would usually support a teacher who has a tough grading policy. The policy just had to be made clear to the students from the very start. Fair enough.

This is no longer true. Today’s administrators are uniformly woke career-climbers. Learning (and discipline) take a back seat to public relations. Schools have to look good. That means pass everyone. And the more A’s the better.

Woe to the teacher who has high standards. That teacher WILL be called in for an attitude adjustment. Stubborn teachers will be targeted. The reason won’t be for having high standards, of course. Some other reason will be given.

Public education is quickly becoming a lost cause, in the cities anyway.

Well duh.

Why do researchers spend time and money on researching the obvious?

Sherlock Holmes is impressed by this sleuthing.

I worked my butt off to get an A in AP History and I was so proud of myself. My teacher was known for giving a lot of B grades but very few A’s. That’s how to boost self-esteem.
