[quote=Anonymous]They keep missing the mark. It's not equity grading that's needed. It's equitable access to the services that would allow a student to get a good grade. Right now, If you are wealthy, and your child struggles with reading, you hire a reading tutor. If you are wealthy and your child struggles with organization and ADHD, you hire an executive function coach. Same with math, writing, and so on. Starting in middle school and then high school, so many teachers waste precious time telling students "learn to manage your time!" or "you need to have good time management and organization skills to succeed!" But no teachers ever bother to teach either. How do they think kids get these skills? Magic wand perhaps? But then again a good portion of teachers suck at both of those skills as well so I guess it's not realistic to suggest they teach them. [/quote]
