As with most Democrats, San Francisco thought students of color (specifically non asians/whites) were too stupid to be educated, so they tried to stop grading quizzes, homework and attendance, and graded tests as 40% -> C and 80% -> A
The community spoke up against their regressive reforms.

San Francisco Public Schools Convert F's to C's, B's to A's in Equity Push

San Francisco's public high schools will implement a sweeping change to their grading system this fall, replacing traditional methods with a policy that allows students to pass with scores as low as 41 percent.

The initiative, part of a broader "Grading for Equity" push, is stirring concern among educators, students and parents over academic standards and college readiness.

The Context
Similar policies across other Bay Area districts—such as Dublin, Oakland and Pleasanton—have seen mixed results and strong community reactions. Dublin Unified attempted a pilot of equity grading in 2023, which included removing zeros for missed assignments and awarding a minimum of 50 percent for any "reasonably attempted" work.

That pilot, however, was met with outrage and resistance. Parents created petitions, formed WhatsApp groups and filled school board meetings to protest what they saw as a lowering of standards for their children. The Dublin school board eventually suspended the initiative, though individual teachers were still allowed to use the methods at their discretion.

The experiment in San Francisco comes amid — or despite — a broader rethinking of DEI initiatives after the election of Donald Trump, who ran on a platform of excising what he and many others said were "unfair" equity practices in the government and private sectors.

What To Know
Superintendent Maria Su's plan in San Francisco was not subject to a public vote by the Board of Education, drawing criticism for lack of transparency. The new policy, set to affect more than 10,000 students across 14 high schools, significantly changes how academic performance is measured.

Homework and classroom participation will no longer influence a student's final grade. Students will be assessed primarily on a final exam, which they can retake multiple times. Attendance and punctuality will not affect academic standing.

The plan was first revealed in the fine print of a 25-page agenda and reported by The Voice of San Francisco, a local nonprofit. The outlet reported that the district is hiring Joe Feldman, an educational consultant known for his book Grading for Equity, to train teachers this summer.

"If our grading practices don't change, the achievement and opportunity gaps will remain for our most vulnerable students. If we are truly dedicated to equity, we have to stop avoiding the sensitive issue of grading and embrace it," Feldman said in a 2019 blog post for the School Superintendents Association (AASA).

Feldman's book outlines how traditional grading can reinforce socioeconomic disparities and proposes alternative strategies for more equitable assessment. According to The Voice of San Francisco, the new system will be modeled in part on the San Leandro Unified School District, where students can earn an A with a score as low as 80 percent and pass with a D at just 21 percent. Under the forthcoming San Francisco policy, a score of 41 percent will qualify as a C.

Educators who support equity-based grading caution against interpreting these percentages through a traditional 100-point lens. In many systems influenced by Joe Feldman's Grading for Equity, schools use a four-point rubric rather than percentage scores.

For example, a "2" on a four-point scale—indicating developing proficiency—may be numerically 50 percent, but it equates to a C in that framework. Critics of the new policy argue it lowers expectations, while supporters say it more accurately reflects student mastery without penalizing behaviors unrelated to learning.

Reactions Split
Supporters of the policy say it better reflects real student learning by de-emphasizing behavior-based penalties like late work or missed assignments. However, critics warn the policy could harm students who are already on track for college placement.

"Nowhere in college do you get 50 percent for doing nothing," said Laurie Sargent, an eighth-grade English teacher in the Dublin Unified School District, in a 2024 Mercury News report. "Nowhere in the working world do you get 50 percent for doing nothing. If I don't show up to work, they don't pay me 50 percent of my salary—even if I made a reasonable attempt to get there."

The change comes amid ongoing financial strain and declining enrollment across the district. While intended to address achievement gaps, critics argue the policy may only obscure the underlying academic challenges rather than solve them.

Such a drastic and dramatic change in the high school grading system merits greater attention and scrutiny than the school district has given it so far," wrote John Trasviña, former dean of the University of San Francisco School of Law, in an op-ed for The Voice of San Francisco.

Parents in San Francisco also have expressed frustration over being left out of the decision-making process. The school district's Office of Equity has not updated its public materials in nearly three years, and no broad outreach appears to have been conducted ahead of the rollout.

What People Are Saying
Katherine Hermens, a biology teacher at Dublin High School, told EdSurge in 2023: "It is time to emphasize learning over effort. Prioritizing learning is exactly what equitable grading does. It recognizes the individual journey of every student and acknowledges that we all learn differently—at our own pace and in various ways."

John Trasviña, former dean of the University of San Francisco School of Law, wrote in an op-ed: "Grading for Equity de-emphasizes the importance of timely performance, assignment completion, and consistent attendance."

What Happens Next
School board members in San Francisco were reportedly not given a formal vote on this policy, triggering internal governance disputes. If there is enough public pressure, the Board of Education may seek to review or override the superintendent's decision, though there is no suggestion as of yet that such a move is imminent.

>>1408810 (OP)
This actually has little to do with minorities and more to do with the fact kids in general these days are learning jack shit. There's an increasing problem with them being unable to properly read and instead just knowing what individual words mean; for example, they'll know that say, "Market" means because they know that particular arrangement of letters means "place where you go to get goods", but if they see a word they haven't encountered before, like say, "Application" they have no idea how to pronounce it. They know what specific arrangements of letters mean but no idea how to string sounds together to say words they've never seen before.

And this isn't just a problem with minority or even poor districts either. The issue is teachers are underpaid, school districts are underfunded, and parents have no clue how to properly teach their kids either.

>>1408849
>The issue is teachers are underpaid,

Nonsense, teachers make excellent money and have great benefits, including pensions which very few get nowadays.

"The median annual wage for teachers in the United States varies depending on the type of school they work in. In 2024, teachers in public schools earned a median wage of $63,980 per year, while teachers in private schools earned $57,5701. High school teachers generally earn around $64,700, which is slightly higher than elementary or middle school teachers. The average teacher salary in the United States in 2025 is $62,870 per year or $5,240 per month, including high school teachers. The national average public school teacher salary in 2023-24 increased to $72,030 and is projected to grow further in 2024-254. The median annual wage for high school teachers was $64,580 in May 2024."

More nonsense, school funding has continually grown year after year despite test scores plateauing in the mid-1970s.

I'll give you that, which has only gotten worse with parents (particularly moms) being addicted to cellphones nowadays.

Idk what your basing this off of. I based my statement off of data provided by the national council of teacher quality.
Every one of the top 10 worst cities to teach in by salary were Blue states, with nearly all being known as deep blue strongholds.

The best places to teach at according to salary were all Republican or swing. ffs, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Arkansas were on the list of best places to teach according to pay

>>1408881
>cities to teach in by salary
Let me clarify.
Not highest $$$ overall, but the places who pay their teachers the best when compared to their living expenses while living there

>>1408881
>>1408882
you realize that a lower cost of living comes with its own sacrifices, right. there are plenty of reasons why people don't buy houses in glorified villages in the middle of nowhere

>>1408883
Is Memphis a village?

Also, since teachers salary is paid for with property taxes, you'd think Democrat cities would be able to pay them proportional to cost of living.

I guess not

>>1408884
so you're just going to ignore the part where i said being a teacher for multiple decades is different from being a brand new teacher
for example
>NYSTRS is one of the ten largest public pension funds in the U.S. providing retirement, disability and death benefits to eligible New York State teachers.

>>1408885
>ignore the part where i said being a teacher for multiple decades is different from being a brand new teacher
I'm ignoring the part where your claim has nothing at all to do with the data I cited. Did the data I cite say anything about only examining new teachers? No?
Then cope.

>>1408887
you're ignoring the fact that i refuted your point multiple times

Blacks are not humans.

This is completely wrong. Your average Mexican and black have IQs slightly above 80. No amount of grade inflation will help them pass primary school. I live in a deep red state and they've had the grading scale skewed for years now. A 60% is passing and an A starts at 86.

>The issue is teachers are underpaid
This has nothing to do with it

School budgets are massively overbloated with administration. Throwing money at education is basically the same as the war on drugs.

Black and brown parents don't teach their children at all. They have next to zero involvement on average.

Anon even college classes usually have Ds (AKA passing) at around the 60-70 range. Hell, 70 for a D is actually incredibly odd.

>>1408954
>college classes usually have Ds (AKA passing
D's are not a passing grade in any college course I've ever taken. If you get one you require a retake in the class. I have never seen any degree plan at any decent University that awards a degree if you have a D in a required class

>>1408955
>>1408955
>D's are not a passing grade in any college course I've ever taken
Let me clarify this..
I have a graduate degree in a science discipline and both the grad and the undergrad were at decent schools.
In both degree plans the student was required to maintain a b or better in every core course and a c or better in any elective.
A D did not award credit and would require a retake if you wanted credit for the class.

I have no idea what liberal arts degrees are like. I normally don't associate with those types of folk

>>1408955
>>1408956
Nice job exposing how neither of you went to college, at least not a US one. Ds literally only matter more than Cs for core classes and prereqs. You can't pass on only them, but it's absolutely still considered a passing grade.

>>1408956
>In both degree plans the student was required to maintain a b or better in every core course and a c or better in any elective.
This legitimately isn't the case in any college in the US. In fact it makes no fucking sense because then there's legitimately no difference between an F/NC and a D in that scenario.

>>1408957
You apparently either never went to a university or if you did it was a shit one with low standards

Or idk maybe you're a boomer and it was different 40 years ago when you went to school I really don't know

>>1408960
Literally graduated from a top 10 university for tech a few years back. All this shit is complete nonsense; the biggest penalty a D got you was a lower GPA and not fulfilling prereqs, but you still very much got credit and it very much counted as a passing course.

>>1408962
>the biggest penalty a D got you was a lower GPA
The way we can tell you're larping is because you're making this seem like it isn't a big deal.

Here in the states, credit alone doesn't matter because each upper echelon Uni doesn't allow you to write over your underperforming grades by retaking a class. They average out your GPA according to every grade you've been given over your entire academic career.

I assfucked myself in highschool by doing AP courses and dicking around the entire time, which later came back to bite me in the ass when I was trying to get into Berkeley.

>>1408965
>The way we can tell you're larping is because you're making this seem like it isn't a big deal.
Your argument was that it wasn't passing and didn't grant credit. Stop moving goalposts.

Oh sure. I figured you would cope and try to weasel your way out of being wrong somehow. How about this, The entire northwestern University has what I said as an undergrad requirement
https://catalogs.northwestern.edu/sps/undergraduate-academic-policies-procedures/grade-requirements
A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and at least a C- in all major, concentration, elective certificate, and minor courses are required to graduate. Courses with a grade of D or P may not fulfill major, concentration, elective certificate, or minor requirements.

>>1408968
>Courses with a grade of D or P may not fulfill major, concentration, elective certificate, or minor requirements
And yet when you look at the chart ON YOUR OWN FUCKING LINK, it very clearly says.
>D passing grade (not for major or minor) 1.0
So there goes your argument of "B for majors and C for electives".

>>1408958
>This legitimately isn't the case in any college in the US. In fact it makes no fucking sense because then there's legitimately no difference between an F/NC and a D in that scenario.
So now that I've given three examples of you being wrong, surely you will admit that you are incorrect?

>>1408969
>So there goes your argument of "B for majors and C for electives".
I showed you this example right here:

Maybe actually read your own fucking link first.

>>1408974
Ah.
So now you can only win this argument if you
1. Call it "extremely exclusive" (by the way, their online program has the same requirement and admits like 10,000 students every year)
2. You have to exclude undergrad degrees you don't like such as nursing
3. You also have to also exclude undergrad degrees entirely because Northwestern University exist, and now you can only be correct that a D is passing if a student is not enrolled in a major or minor

>>1408977
>All grades of D and above are considered passing grades and satisfy the course requirement. D's are not counted toward major or minor coursework, however
That's exactly what I said. If you are taking the course as part of a major degree plan and you receive a D, you need to retake it.

That's exactly what I said. I just think you're illiterate or something

>>1408978
>(by the way, their online program has the same requirement and admits like 10,000 students every year)
Yeah no. By their own admissions, it took 10 years for 10k people to graduate with an online masters. Not 10k per year. 10k roughly TOTAL.
>https://omscs.gatech.edu/

>You have to exclude undergrad degrees you don't like such as nursing
Yes because nursing colleges have much different standards and practices than non-nursing ones. Do you not understand this is why they're separate?
>3. You also have to also exclude undergrad degrees entirely because Northwestern University exist, and now you can only be correct that a D is passing if a student is not enrolled in a major or minor
A D is still passing, and it also absolutely refutes your "only a B is considered passing for majors/minors and a C is required for electives" bullshit.

I get your a troll but you're really embarrassing yourself at this point because you made a statement without googling it properly first, and now you're scrambling with the goalposts.

>>1408962

>>1408958
>In fact it makes no fucking sense because then there's legitimately no difference between an F/NC and a D in that scenario.
Anyways I've blown you the fuck out with three examples.
I said I've seen it in both undergrad and grad.
I clearly proved grad degree and you whine what it was a grad degree.
I clearly proved it in undergrad and you whined that it doesn't count because the undergrad degree was for nursing.
I show an entire school that doesn't allow D's as credit for fulfilling undergrad degree requirements and you whine that they consider a D as passing even though it can't be used towards major requirements (which is weird because that's what I claimed to begin with)

So anyways, enjoy your shitty degree you got lmao.
Keep coping, and keep on rolling, anon

>>1408980
>A D is still passing
Weird that I never used that term at all in my original post, you've only included it now to try to justify how you aren't wrong somehow
I will repeat my exact words so that you can reflect on how you've been btfo 3x by me so far:
>A D did not award credit and would require a retake if you wanted credit for the class.

>>1408979
>That's exactly what I said.
No, you said.
>1408956
>In both degree plans the student was required to maintain a b or better in every core course and a c or better in any elective.
Considering you said even your undergrad had this requirement, which isn't even the case for non-masters at the most elite universities, I'm inclined to believe you never went to college at all.

Or, alternatively, if you're >>1408955
>D's are not a passing grade in any college course I've ever taken.
Which is also not the case because this very clearly shows that Ds are still perfectly fine passing grades for non-minors or majors.

Your own links don't match up with your own claims. Just accept you were wrong and probably never got into college and move on with your life.

>>1408984
>Ds are still perfectly fine passing grades for non-minors or majors
...so people who aren't pursuing a degree at all?
Yes, I agree, a D is an acceptable grade for someone who is not going to use the course to graduate with a degree.

Can you stop being stupid now?

Disregarding valid sources while providing zero sources yourself, is not having a discussion.

Come back when you've learned this basic concept.

> Recently, some localities have approved significant salary increases for teachers. Little Rock, for example, through the recent LEARNS Act, plans to bump __starting salaries__ from $45,500 to $50,000.

$50K per year (in Arkansas no less) to _start_ for an under-25 year old fresh out of college (and likely living with their parents) is good money and again, teachers have iron clad job security with a nation wide union, top of the line benefits, lifetime pensions (that includes the spouse) and a fuckload of payed days off, including all summer long.

School vouchers must be implemented nationwide. After all they are MY kids, it's MY money and thus should be MY decision which school they attend.

>>1408881
>I based my statement off of data provided by the national council of teacher quality.

The article goes on and on about vague and squishy data of this "percentage" and that "percentage" but is short on actual amounts of money and when it does provide that data, (Arkansas for example, $50K to start) it only proves the point that teachers are very well paid.

Yeah blue states are kind of hell holes for teachers.
Check out SF, the mean salary for all public school teachers is 65k https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/public-school-teacher-salary/san-francisco-ca

Imagine having to wade through the seas of fentanyl bums to get to your $65k a year job, in a city where $65k/yr is probably how much rent is, meaning you have no money left to eat if you want an apartment.

You'd think with their expensive property and the resulting property and sales tax they could pay their teachers proportional to cost of living in SF and not pay their teachers on par with fucking arkansas

every trumpist is retarded news at 11

the top states for standardized testing are 100% Republican states.
If Democrats have proven anything it's that they are racing to the bottom in education standards and are trying their *best* to make sure schools are churning out indoctrinated retards

They can't even bother to read the article where it says the grading scheme was never implemented.

San Francisco decided that a 40% grade meant someone was educated.
Doesn't mean shit if someone is educated but they can't demonstrate knowledge. Education=/=knowledge

>Similar policies across other Bay Area districts—such as Dublin, Oakland and Pleasanton—have seen mixed results
Oh ok sure. It was stopped in 25% of the areas they tried to do it in.
Yippee. I bet you passed with a B in all your English reading courses (with a 45% overall grade)

>>1408859
Seems like it

It's because they can't admit the obvious truth that they're even more racist than the Republican "Nazis" they talk shit about all the time. They honestly don't think that people of color are capable of carrying a valid ID, following the law, earn the same grades as whites/Asians in schools, or should be sentenced to jail for the same length for crimes.

They are lowkey racists. That's why they can't answer the questions in that post.

>people of color are capable of carrying a valid ID, following the law, earn the same grades as whites/Asians in schools, or should be sentenced to jail for the same length for crimes.
It's really not too much to ask. Literally every other developed nation in the world thinks voter id is a good idea, and they have it. In the US, not a single blue state requires voter id because they think it's racist and colored people would be unable to do so when voting.

It's like they've internalized all the racism they complain about to the point they don't even realize that they are more racist than the people they falsely imagine as racists

Probably not.
Democrats abuse the lack of voter id to rig elections with election fraud. Why would they involve illegals in their schemes?

Asking for the local faggot

It's a pretty compelling argument that the only states which never seem to be able to elect anyone other than a institutional Democrat politician are the ones which institutional Democrats won't allow voter id to be implemented at

You're mindbroken too and also full of shit

(kneejerking intensifies)

They really are just envious goblins arent they? "equity" means stupid, useless people think they deserve the same thing as smart hard working people. What do they think giving them "equity" at grade schools is going to do? They are still useless retards who will remain stupid and useless. It is not going to help them at anything in life when the real world demands actual results from them that they cant produce, They just want to drag everyone else down with them

>>1409124
Yes, Trumptards and their Moron-in-Chief have broken minds because they're uneducated anti-intellectual retards.

Sure but that's not a teacher issue, it's a larger societal issue and imagine how people _without_ high paying unionized jobs have it in those areas.
