[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What this suggests to me is that they know the thinking behind equity grading is flawed and have identified arguments against it in order to shut any resistance to it/conversation about it down, because the intention all along was to implement it no matter what and with a tone of condescension directed at all who disagree.[/quote] They have given up trying to raise student performance because secretly they know this truth: Caring and supportive parents/guardians (regardless of SES) is the only solution to closing gaps. A supportive parent can work a failed school system to ensure their kid achieves. A good school system, however, cannot lift a kid in a failed family. Yeah it happens once in a while but that is usually because the student has an enormous drive and executive function and achieves in spite of both. School district money will not fix the gaps and neither will grading changes. But they may hide them.[/quote]
