The policy is designed to help struggling students catch up.
catch up, what...
When I was raising kids, many homeschool parents didn't issue report cards with grades, either, at least among the diehard homeschoolers in my state. We tested our kids to assess where they stood, but they learned at their own pace. A kid might master a subject in only a month, or maybe he would take a full year. But, once he mastered it, he moved up to the next level. So, the kid's motivation was never a letter grade. It was to master a subject and move on to the next one.
