Kelsey Piper:

But in this respect in particular, I’m on Hannah-Jones’ side. Student grades ought to reflect how well a student is doing. If a student is getting good grades, their parents ought to be able to assume that they’re adequately academically prepared for the next year’s material.

This is, these days, broadly not true.
