The system, announced during the 2021-22 school year, does not include 0-49.9 percentiles for students

A YouTube video posted by Sunrise Park Middle School in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, details a new grading scale that lacks the letter "F."

The system, announced during the 2021-22 school year, does not include 0-49.9 percentiles for students.

"Our whole intent is to ensure that grades focus on the process of learning," Principal Christina Pierre said in the video. "Therefore, grades will not include behaviors, attitude, tardiness to class, whether the assignment was turned in late or on time. There's other ways that we can communicate those things to parents."

Associate Principal Norman Bell went on to elaborate that students are encouraged to retake/revise tests, quizzes, papers, projects and have a 10-day window to do so from the date the grade is posted.

Sunrise Park Middle School serves students in grades sixth through eighth in the White Bear Lake Area Schools, ISD 624. It is located in a suburb of St. Paul.

Fox News reached out to the district to see if the grading scale would be implemented at middle schools district wide, which only includes one additional campus, but has yet to hear back.

The district's superintendent, Wayne Kazmierczak, was named Minnesota Association of School Administrators 2021 Superintendent of the Year.

The school website discussing the award details how the district conducted an "equity audit," which showed grading disparities among students of color.

"Grading can be one of the largest areas in which systemic racism and inequities are perpetuated... grades should be a measure of what a student knows and has mastered in a given course. Grading should not be a behavior punishment and should not be a measure of how well a student can survive stress at home,"

And how long before White Bear Lake is no longer a name of the school, as well as the city?

How much more insulting to blacks can they be? They are actually indicating that they believe blacks to be inferior simply because they are black? This is what racism looks like and the progressives have always been the raciest, ALWAYS.

grades should be a measure of what a student knows and has mastered in a given course.

So, if a child with royal blood knows nothing and has mastered nothing, do they get a trophy or something?

It's not about being ‘stupid’. It's about having behavioral issues that lead to failure. If you are cutting classes (yes, it happens in middle school) and hanging out on street corners at night instead of doing homework, etc., (yes, this also happens in grade school) then you can get Fs. This is especially easy to do if your parents pay no attention.

The child may think they are royalty and the rules do not apply to them because they are “special”.
