Even their pre-equity grading scale would be considered
extra easy in the school district I grew up in. :/
An 80 score on a test (even a ten-question pop quiz) was
a D. Yeah.
95-100 = A
88-94 = B
81-87 = C
75-80 = D
below 74 = E (a failing grade)
Tough love in the Olden Days, but at least most students
geting a diploma could read, write, and do basic math.
How is San Francisco going to pay for all the unemployment
benefits for these equititized/non-educated graduates
I'm glad they're on the opposite coast than I am.
Nyssa, who thought the grading scale was too tight then, but
at least it was the same for all of the students in the
school system who suffered through it
When you talked to students in other schools, you found their school
could be very different. For instance, my high school made every English
exam 100 percent essay questions, no exceptions. However, my friend at a >nearby school told me that they allowed their English exams to be 25% >objective (true/false and multiple choice). In my school, only a very
small handful of students got an English grade higher than 70%; the best >English mark I ever heard in our school was claimed by the smartest guy
in the school, he got 78%. In my friend's school, English marks in the
80s were quite common and I expect there were some 90s.
Consider an entire province run like this. I truly don't know how >universities decided who was fit for admission. (I'm talking about a
time when MCATs, LSATs and whatever were virtually unheard of in this >country.) Someone with an average of 70 from our school might still be
far better equipped than someone from another school that had 90s.
Then, a provincial government saw the madness in this system and devised >standardized testing so that everyone in the province wrote the same
exams so that you could finally make apples to apples comparisons.
