San Diego Unified School District Changes Grading System to ‘Combat Racism'
The San Diego Unified School District is overhauling the way it grades students.

Curious about takes from progressive education policy buffs on this.
I do think there is a definite white supremacist tinge to the usual notion of "due dates" for your assignments that don't respect different temporal cultural notions. I'm also a supporter of numerical grades in lieu of having teacher's having detailed reports of student progress. The idea of wanting to quantify everything like student performance is very much a culturally white construct that is very damaging to children of color.
