Some schools in California are using social justice tactics to try to repair the damage done to school-age children over the past almost two years of coronavirus lockdowns and remote learning.That includes the Los Angeles Unified, Oakland Unified, Sacramento City Unified, San Diego Unified and other districts are phasing out grades below a C for high school students.The plan is meant to “re-engage” students but also help them get accepted into public colleges.“Our hope is that students begin to see school as a place of learning, where they can take risks and learn from mistakes, instead of a place of compliance,”

Democrats want to dumb your kids down. Then convince them to get the vaccine.

At this rate, EVERYONE will get an "A" which will put the lazy in the same bracket as those who work their butts of in the sake of excellence.
Kind of like a "group project" where one person goes all out while the others do NOTHING and get the credit

In the real world this is called fraud and deceptive business practice by churning out under achieving kids as ready for adulthood.

When reviewing a transcript I will assume anyone not receiving an A, B, or C got an F. So what's the point of dropping D and F??

You know the end is near when the barbarians are at the gates and the defenders are not rushing to the ramparts but worrying about social justice.

This only works if the public colleges do the same thing. Then they crash and burn when they enter the private sector.

If we're not getting the services we pay for, I'm confident that school taxes will drop dramatically. Presumably, kids could skip classes all year and still pull a 'C'.

Ah yes. So, everybody will get a trophy. Together with misbehaving kids in the classroom because they had no social interaction last year due to remote learning and now they have become the classroom troublemakers, Amerika has a real mess on its hands.

Remote learning negatively affected the grades of many students, in some cases even the best students. Allowing students to repeat 2020-21 classes during summer school or later, expunging the prior grade at the student’s request, is a fair way for all students to restore their GPAs.

Governments' responses to the pandemic have done more damage than the disease ever did. This is just the latest example.

More leftist thinking: Make kids more competitive for college by eliminating Ds and Fs. Just like DAs celebrating lower crime rates by changing the definition of what constitutes a crime.

A participation trophy for everyone! The dumber you are the easier you are to control. Don't kid yourself, that is what this is about.

No, **teaching well enough to make Ds and Fs unnecessary** will help pandemic students. God forbid we should ask union members to up their game in a time of national crisis, huh?

Well, there it is! The soft bigotry of low expectations. Leftists are striving for the equal distribution of illiteracy. High school grads will get a participation trophy instead of a diploma. How much more can the left destroy future generations?

So, now we know that students who have "Cs" on their transcripts have flunked. Only students who make "Bs" or "As" should be considered for graduation, employment, scholarships, etc.

Good grief! I am surprised that San Diego bought into this nonsense. The other school districts, not so much. They will not make it into college or will fail there. Hard to get a kid off the path to failure at life. C is the new F.

So if a student comes from California to enter college in another state if he, she or it has a clean report card we can assume they are D or F students. Wonderful dumb down idiots for hire or government workers.

Yeah boy, that is really going to prepare them for the real world.
Oh wait, no it won't!!! It turns the degrees from those school districts in to "participation trophies". And they will be turning out lazy, uneducated adults who are only prepared to enter the welfare plantation.
Let's read a follow-up in a year, when these school officials making this incredibly idiotic policy have discovered that over half of the students aren't more motivated -- they are simply not doing anything but playing on their phones all day and taking their C's. And those kids that were C students, but were really trying, are quickly going to discover that they don't have to try any more.

why? because they were wearing out the letters on the typewriter, typing all those F's and D"s?
those letters have significant value in the commie black community, they mean that each child who receives F's and D's has reached their level of excellence in communism award, proving that 2+2 does equal 5

Passing students who either can't or won't do the work has been a harbinger of our education system for a long time. Back in the 80's my late sister taught at a predominately black junior high school in Nashville. Whenever she turned in a failing grade for a student (an F) the principal, who was a black man, would change the grade to a passing one. When my sister asked him why he was changing the failing grades to passing he told her basically that the kids needed to "move on into the mainstream of life". I wonder how many of those students became success stories. My sister got out of there as quick as she could.

Dropping D and F - just won’t show who failed or almost failed. Only in California - we should annex.
