These people are such idiots. I'm all for helping kids at a disadvantage, but they think rigging the outcome is the same as helping them get to the desired outcome.

It’s all going according to Oldmanbeasley’s plan. Soon the Beasley’s will take over and rule this land once again.

Looks like California is still trying to out-California itself on the reg....and it wins every time.

Under that system, I could do even less than I did in HS and still pass.

They want exactly what they are creating, someone that will rely on them fully in the future.

The people educated under these circumstances will always just be bums.

Attendance has and always will be gimme points. No issues with getting rid of that. My son’s middle school counts homework as 50% of their math grade. WTH is that? So I can give him the answers on his homework or he can use AI to get the answers, and that counts as HALF? I honestly don’t have any issue with them getting rid of the homework grades. With AI, the only way to really test knowledge moving forward is going to be with paper and pencil exams. I don’t have any issue with what OP wrote except changing the grading scale. I also think they should be testing the kids at least every 2 to 3 weeks, so they can know if they’re falling behind. Otherwise there’s no incentive to keep up. No idea why they made it about equity. The kids aren’t learning the way they used to because cheating is ubiquitous.. The only way to see what they know is to put them in a room and hand them a test.

How can one become literate with a 21 test score on basic reading?

They won't be doing any of that. They'll be voting democrat just like the slaves on the voting plantation today.

Keep'em stupid and dependant. It's been a winning strategy for Democrats since about 1960.

Pretty much. It's way more work to get low achievers up to speed, so they take the easy, lazy, much more destructive route of holding back high achievers or finding ways to label low achievers more favorably. Everyone pays the price...but EQUITY!!

The worst part of this is that the kids that get pushed through like this are going to be the dumbest, yet most confidently ignorant and insufferable people on earth.

No, this is inspired by people who encourage and excuse shitty behavior of not only these kids but their parents as well.

Then all of these kids will turn around and sue the same school district for graduating as functional illiterates like that Connecticut student.

Parents need to start dragging school board officials and administrators out of their offices and tar and feather them.

San Francisco is the same town where Jim Jones built his flock of 1,000 left wing social justice bros. They literally killed their own children on his command. There's something in the water (pun intended) in Norcal that produces Democrat kooks and nutbars en masse.

Societal cowards don't want to fix the problem. It would be a difficult fix. The easy fix will create a large pool of incompetent individuals - those who are not very literate, have no skills, and who have little knowledge.

They need more education, not less.

And they will receive bonus points and provided a scholarship. In the name of equity. Good luck to anyone needing professional services in the future if this spreads.
