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,"

so blacks not studying because they dont care and don’t want to “act white” is now encouraged by public “education”...
incredible
if there was never a good reason to end public education, here it is
“...few highly intelligent people having children and many low IQ people having lots of children.”
The movie version is “Idiocracy.”
Being functionally illiterate and not being able to add or subtract would do it.
The problem with the “marching morons” scenario, is when you have too few intelligent people to run a functioning civilization, then civilization collapses.
What happens in our inner cities when the EBT cards run dry?
What do YOU say?

Three words: Bell curve.
Running out of money from the intelligent people....
True.
That’s why it was dystopian.
Michael Savage has said more than once “Our American lifeboat is full and will capsize with any more spending and immigration.”
Absolutely right.
Then why go to school at all????
Okay, okay, rub it in. They wasted a lot of money on their attempt to send a black astronaut crew into a black hole to celebrate blackness.
Money by the trillions going to waste in a black hole was so much like American deficit entitlement spending that the African nations declared it racist and quickly ended the program.
Thanks so much for that video.
Truly hilarious.
I am thankful we are still allowed enough freedom to glimpse that satirical humor (as of this morning).
My pleasure, as I love sharing comedy.
I don’t know if you noticed, or care, but the black guy they were interviewing was “Bookman the janitor” from Good Times.
TV show....
I never watched even one minute of the show.
You didn’t miss much.
Churning out tens who will become USELESS adults.
An employer does NOT think that a paycheck is a PARTICIPATION TROPHY
I only started paying attention to the dumbing down of education around 20 years ago. At that time there was a high performing, predominately white high school that was destroying the state exams in comparison to every other high school in the county. The school board fixed that by cutting out a quarter of the district and replacing it was kids bused in from predominantly black neighborhoods. Test scores plummeted and problem solved.
The other incident was when the local newspaper did a story about school records showing most of the kids suspended for disciplinary problems were black. So they did away with suspension to hide that fact. Now the disruptors have free reign to wreak havoc in the classrooms.
