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

Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about punishment for behavioral issues or expelling students. What I'm suggesting is that the logic of grades determining behavioral issues is flawed, and it's far more likely that both the behavioral issues and poor grades are symptoms of something else.

I'm saying that throwing out the legitimacy of our metrics by fudging the numbers for these students is not the right approach and is in fact a disservice to them.
