It’s interesting to compare California elected officials reaction to rigor reduction plans in the taxpayer funded San Francisco Unified School District:
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie:
We owe our young people an education that prepares them to succeed. The proposed changes to grading at SFUSD would not accomplish that.
I have conveyed our view to SFUSD. We are optimistic that there is a better path forward for our kids and their future.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan:
I try to stay in my San Jose lane, but as a former East Side public school teacher I have to say — this is a terrible disservice to our students. Lowering standards does not help children. It hurts them.

Blue tape.
