Half Of American Schools Require ‘Equitable’ Grading and Most Teachers Are Opposed: Survey
31st August 2025
Lackluster student performance has plagued the Schenectady, N.Y., city school district for years.
That’s because the teachers are crap. They won’t admit that, of course.
The school district, like many others, implemented a “grading for equity” policy in response to dismal test scores.
All of which is designed so that Fashionable Minorities can get better grades than they actually deserve, which incidentally hiding the fact that their teachers are crap.
However, as Aaron Gifford reports below for The Epoch Times, a recent national survey indicates that most teachers feel grade equity actually hurts students long term, although more than half of the schools and districts across the nation engage in the practice.
Schenectady’s 2022-2023 academic report said 95 percent of its high school freshmen were behind in math by three or more grade levels.
A year later, the district reported that in the first quarter of the 2022-2023 school year, more than half of its middle school students (grades 6-8) were three or more grade levels behind in both reading and math, while the daily attendance rate for high schoolers had dipped below 79 percent.
Time to leave.
