Utah realizes the A-F grading system is terrible and so should Florida

Image
You know what Florida’s A-F grading system really shows? It shows teachers where not to work, who wants the extra stress and scrutiny especially since they will now be paid on how hungry kids without much family involvement mired in poverty do on a standardized test. And where the poor people live as the schools in those neighborhoods tend to get the worse grades. Utah has started picking up on this, from the Salt Lake Tribune:  By PAUL ROLLY Now that the Utah Legislature-inspired school grading system has been exposed for the joke that it is and lawmakers are spinning, ducking and finger-pointing to avoid accountability for their own ineptitude, it’s time to debunk the myth that a similar system was adopted by Florida.
