[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I’d revive this thread since  the Washington Post covered this

https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/10/20/crusade-end-grading-high-schools/[/quote]

Here is the article that revived the thread. It explains the mastery transcript.[/quote]

This is super interesting but given the inequalities in US - master transcript credits being based on schools not teachers sounds like it could sink entire shops of students pretty fast.

And if we continue to leave so many people behind, we will never catch up to world leaders in education in math, science and literacy.

Typo sorry - shops = ships … anyway you get the gist - so many disparities between public school systems let alone between private and public schools .

Loony sounds highly Innovative and forward thinking though … he started this system at a very elite school - can it be transplanted wifey elsewhere where schools and teachers are crippled by their students facing poverty, food and housing insecurities etc? Or is it only realistic for UMC private schools? [/quote]

Reading the list of the schools in the consortium, there are some publics. I’d love to hear how it’s being implemented.[/quote]
