Lowering Standards For “Equity”
Nevada’s Clark County School District recently announced it would be lowering its standards, no longer penalizing tardiness, and offering a minimum score of 50% even for work the district would previously have scored lower.
The new grading standards in Clark County are only the latest move in a long line of controversial and unpopular public school decisions which have fueled speculation about the future of alternative forms of education such as homeschooling and private Catholic schools.
