So I was reading about this recent report on how Boston schools banned Fs and eliminated testing - leading to record graduation rates (duh) Source Now I agree that traditional grading systems have real equity problems, like grade retention and high-stakes testing have historically had racially disparate outcomes, and I also agree that some "equitable grading" research is legitimate.
