San Diego Unified School District Changes Grading System to ‘Combat Racism'

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/loc...c_knsd_twt_shr
Students will no longer be graded based on a yearly average, or on how late they turn in assignments. Those are just some of the major grading changes approved this week by California's second-largest school district.

The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) is overhauling the way it grades students. Board members say the changes are part of a larger effort to combat racism.

“This is part of our honest reckoning as a school district,” says SDUSD Vice President Richard Barrera. “If we’re actually going to be an anti-racist school district, we have to confront practices like this that have gone on for years and years.”

According to data presented by the district, under the old grading system, teachers fail minority students more than White students – a lot more.

During the first semester of last year, 30% of all D or F grades were given to English learners. One in four, 25%, of failing marks went to students with disabilities.

By ethnicity, 23% went to Native Americans. Another 23% of failing grades went to Hispanics. And 20% of D or F grades went to Black students.

By comparison, just 7% of failing marks went to White students.

In an effort to change that racial imbalance, the school board voted unanimously this week to make several big changes to its grading system.

Academic grades will now focus on mastery of the material, not a yearly average, which board members say penalizes students who get a slow start, or who struggle at points throughout the year.

Another big change, teachers can no longer consider non-material factors when grading. Things like turning work in on time and classroom behavior will now instead count towards a student's citizenship grade, not their academic grade.

“I think this reflects a reality that students have described to us and it’s a change that’s a long time coming,” says Barrera.

Student School Board Member Zachary Patterson, who is also a junior at University City High School, says while some classmates expressed concerns about grade inflation, overall the feedback from his peers is positive.

“I know students all across the school district are really happy with the idea that these other accountability measures are no longer going to be defining their understanding of knowledge,” says Patterson.

After Patterson expressed concerns at this week’s meeting, the board will also review potential student disparities stemming from its zero-tolerance disciplinary policy on cheating in the coming weeks.

Nearly 106,000 students attend a San Diego Unified School District school.

There's no indication that punctuality alone will be prospective for people. They just said that that's something while academic is something else.

Here's the thing:

This sentence isn't totally stupid. There are definitely lazy teenagers who test very well but don't do their homework, and it's fair enough to track that separately.

I have exactly zero faith, however, that they're going to follow through on that portion when Tyronamal Gonzales III writes "fukk you" on a quiz question asking him to name our third president. Those results are going to be "racist", too, because the problem is the same as it is with underperforming poor rural whites: lack of support for education at home.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Most nuanced perspective there.

lol, 2020 is the beggining of the end.
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Indefensible. The entire district should lose accreditation. This idea that demographics have to be equal in performance and outcome academically is going to ruin education.

I think it’s misguided. This shouldn’t be a result due to racial differences but rather socioeconomic differences.

I guarantee that the percentage of blacks and Hispanics receiving D’s and F’s in higher socioeconomic districts is a lot lower than blacks and Hispanics in lower socioeconomic districts.

I agree that children with special needs shouldn’t be graded as the same as other students. Not sure how a kid with Down’s syndrome would be expected to perform as a normal kid. I also agree that behavior shouldn’t be taken into account of someone’s academic work. However, turning in late work should still receive point deductions.

Brb minorities are too stupid to excel in school so to fix this we’re going to allow them to get a free pass instead of holding them accountable for their future

no, i know, it's just the idea of it is so ridiculous

can't wait til they figure out that "mastery of the material" means finals that are a massive portion of their grade and the same kids still fail

Libs always do this in education. They either consider Asians as white or they just straight up ignore them. Can't have them disrupt their narrative.

I mean I doubt anyone here is going to argue that the aggregates that they determine grades by up to now is not based on learning so much as precision and consistency of the curriculum itself.

I wouldn't call it a necessarily unfair overlap in terms of people that prevail, but it is not totally conductive when you think about it, and there's probably reason by now to develop a more intuitive approach.

Not to mention how the college system works as far as developing careers, which I'm sure even more people around these parts would agree is practically duplicitous.
