Most posters don't think enough about their first post. It would have been easy to leave out "he" and "senior," which would have made outing difficult.


geez the rules of DCUM - sorry I’m a
novice - will try to do better with my next post. Thought it was relevant to include that “he” was a “senior” as he’s seen the full spectrum of the covid grading impact at “his” school. And the school is not really the point imo, but fine if you disagree


Except the actual school is the only point.

I don’t think anyone thought any school was still using “Covid” grading, nor do we have any reason to believe the other NESAC schools continue to do so.

Without the school name, the information is useless.


always amazing to me how some on DCUM are so obsessed with “name the school”and personalizing every issue to their own circumstances. I actually thought this post/topic was interesting without the school name, but I’m likely a more even keeled and in the minority

Oh Please! Just name the school so the post is useful to others. If not, why waste everyone's time.

What was the point of sharing this? Especially without any school info. There isn't any question or discussion topic really raised. What are you looking for OP?

This is so weird. My kid goes to a SLAC and they do not have\did not have Covid grading.

I can't get a sense of how people are responding to this. My take is that they've been back in person for over a year, so the "covid policy" should have been gone before this.
