Not sorry I got out of Calif. It's very sad to see this about my old hometown.
If that meant students could test out at the beginning of the term, I'd support it.
Why don’t they just fail 50% of the white students and call it a day.
Sorry to any teachers out there who do not fit this mold, but the “educators who run things are evil.
Not just people with bad ideas, but bad people with bad ideas.
Reading just what was posted, this sounds like a superb idea. Mastery of a subject is all that matters. Your either proficient or not. If it takes one year or two to conqueror calculus so what? As far as counting homework as citizenship even better. Today teachers deluge students with homework as a substitute for teaching.
In curious how did the decide to test for mastery?
Of cours now the teachers can slow walk a student through 20 years of school.

Public schools are completely worthless.
Get your kids out if you don’t want indpctrinated libtard morons that believe they are incredibly smart and morally superior judges of all.
San Diego Unified School District is the second largest school district in California and the second worst school district in California. Los Angeles Unified School District takes the prize as the worst school district the state. Sending your kids to those schools is child abuse. There are good private schools to chose from, but if you cannot afford the tuition you need to move to a better district just outside of the school district limits.
People need to wake up and pull their kids out of the govt. school system.
Which is effectively racism
These bored members have a lot of time on their hands.
I don’t see why any student should do any work. It’s all slavery. Now THAT is woke.
Did they actually say “mastering”?
Racist.
I guess they’re saying that certain races can’t get their work done on time and can’t behave in class. Sounds racist to me.
The race to the bottom, problem is we are already at 49 out of 57 as far as education goes, not much further to go down
so you whitey parents can lay off your kids...no reason to make them get their homework done...or attend class even....cram the last week and show “mastery” which I am sure is a very subjective metric...
Okay, so how will they determine mastery of material? Actual correct answers or attempts at the correct answer? Also, if a student can't turn in their assignment on time, tough shit. I don't care what their poor wittle home situation is. Either do what is assigned on time, or lose points.
But then, the Teacher can just give them a trophy for at least turning in the assignment, no matter how late.
Everywhere you look, America is turning towards mediocre standards. We use to strive for excellence in all. Sorry, but not all are high enough of the Bell Curve to succeed in Ivy League schools. We still need trades men, and most make a decent living while the Harvard graduate is living in Mom's basement or on the streets whining and rioting how unfair life is.
My sympathy factor is reaching ZERO.
I have no problem with that as long as the testing for mastery is the same for all.
Unfortunately nowadays the “soft bigotry of low expectations” takes everyone down, not just the lefts political pawns.
