Making grades meaningless so that everyone advances is doing a disservice to kids' education. (media.piefed.world)

It really should be more standardized, or else schools are just going to find reasons to cook their books.

Remember last year when San Francisco schools were going to adjust their grading scales so much that they could pass students with a D if they scored as low as a 21? Pure insanity. (They fortunately received a lot of backlash and reverted the change)

There's really no way of "standardizing" a practice that's inherently and wildly subjective.
