San Diego School System Changes Grading System to Be ‘Anti-Racist’
Breitbart | 10/19/20San 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.
“For months, the district has been working on multiple areas of its operations, including grading, in efforts to make them more anti-racist and equitable, partly in response to social justice protests that erupted over the summer in response to George Floyd’s death,” reported the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Now, the school district’s new grading system will no longer take into account what the district calls “non-academic factors,” such as handing in classroom work late and student behavior, as some students may have struggles related to home, or other responsibilities that affect their ability to turn in their work on time or learn content before a test.
“Students will no longer be docked in their academic grades for turning work in late or other factors related to work habits,” reports the San Diego Union-Tribune. “Those aspects of student behavior will be judged in a separate citizenship grade.”
Honestly I don’t think they will have to worry. They will be told what to do. By their betters.
Employers? Surely, you jest…
The Government, AKA THe Democrat party.
Surely, I missed that possibility…
Sorry, Liam Neeson didn’t show up tonight.
Unlike public school students, he has a set of skills.
Isn’t school unnecessary with a government guaranteed income?
I’m going to go back to school, just so I can drop out and get a deferment through life.
Brilliance!
Can’t the “late” part of “turning in homework late” be extended to infinity? Or until the student dies?
If the school district imposes some time limit on “late” work, isn’t that just another arbitrary deadline? Can they not skip that one for reasons too?
The answer to all these questions is, probably yes….probably.
All that time, K-12 … I stupidly followed the rules. What I sucker I was 🤪
