Schools across the nation eliminated F years ago. Now, it’s D. Why not give every 3 year old a HS certificate and be done with the games.

I still can’t get over TX making submitting a FAFSA application a graduation requirement whether the student is headed for college or not.

The benefit is that some DESERVING pupils who have just barely missed the cut-off ... Am NOT calling for an across-the-board relaxation of all academic standards!

When you say pupils "deserve" grades they don't earn, you are are absolutley "calling for an across-the-board relaxation of all academic standards!"

If you just want to move them along, give them a "Pass" - don't corrupt the grading process.

Would you please NOT try to misunderstand me!

By "deserving," I did NOT mean that pupils DESERVE grades they didn't earn.

I think that I made it repeatedly and abundantly clear that I was instead referring to, e.g., special "catch-up" classes for "borderline" cases. And to allowing the school authorities a bit of latitude with respect to "hard-luck" cases (e.g., when it could be credibly demonstrated that a specific child had been particularly impacted by draconian Covid measures which interrupted learning).

Regards,

heck, why not just give ‘em all ‘A’s all the time so they can all take out “college” student loans that they’ll never pay back and never graduate anyway ... no SAT/ACT requirements and everyone gets an “A”, soon the “colleges” will be forced to automatically graduate everyone who applies because the subsequent epidemic of failure will be “racist” ... of course, the CA “educational” system will be turning out perfectly uneducated peasants who will be lifelong voters for the National Socialist Democrat Party because, you know, “free stuff” ...

It’s the same way democrats ‘fix’ crime rates - they decriminalize horrors, stop reporting and prosecuting crimes... and sure ‘nuff the crime ‘rate’ goes down’

This stupid move California’s making will give the impression their students are doing better. All lies.
