grading system

Stanford Law School has launched a “Youth Justice Lab,” which aims to address racism in public schools. The university claims that special education, advanced placement programs, and other “meritocratic” grading policies are “insidious” forms of “state-sponsored racial segregation.”

San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) is changing its grading policies in an attempt to “make them more anti-racist.” The new grading removes “non-academic factors,” with the school district using the example of turning in homework late.

Democrat New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that New York City’s public schools would be adopting a revised grading system for most of its students due to the coronavirus pandemic.
