But if you thought that was an honest measure of how many kids are passing, I have bad news. High-school grading policies have become so corrupt, class credits have become almost meaningless.
In recent years, the Department of Education and many individual schools, have adopted “equity grading” practices intended to benefit disadvantaged students.
But by making it almost impossible for such students to fail, even when they don’t show up to class, our school system harms the less privileged by discouraging hard work and reliability.
Despite the demoralizing effect these policies have on teachers, the United Federation of Teachers, under the out-of-touch leadership of Michael Mulgrew, has failed to make this a public issue.
New Yorkers would be shocked to see how far school standards have dropped.
