No-Zero Grading
Prevents teachers from giving students harmful grades below 50%, regardless of the level of effort. A low mark on a 100-point scale does not accurately measure what a student knows and often results in students giving up. Other obsolete grading methods include traditional A-F, comparative (curve-based), or standards-based systems. To achieve equity and fairness, expectations must be altered for disadvantaged students dreaming of entering the high stakes college lottery.
