Yep, I want my heart worked on by an 80% right surgeon.
The dumbing down of America continues.
They want an ignorant / PC to a fault / easy to manipulate populace. In other words, future Democrat voters.
Diversity baby!
Why don’t they just skip the entire,silly high school thing and hand them a diploma when they turn 16?
Lots of money could be saved.
No wonder many kids today cannot do simple math in their head or find the USA on a map. (Of course many don’t have maps according to the brilliant Miss Alabama.)

50% of 25 year olds are now still living with their parents.
Could the two issues be related? worthless degrees being handed out to completely illiterate kids who no one will hire after talking to them for 30 seconds.
Sounds like “equality” and socialism to me. No one will want to excel in that environment and they’ll reap what they sow.
You can be a C student by knowing 20% of the material and then guessing right on one out of four multiple choice questions where you don’t know the answer.
Hey, they had a problem with not enough kids passing.
Now more kids are passing.
Brilliant!!!
Any parents in the school district who plan on having their children attend college will be moving out of the school district ASAP as the grades reported by the schools will have no meaning to their admission process.
You can imagine what will happen to the school district when all the smarter students leave the school district.
And if all the tests are multiple choice, and the number of choices on each problem is 4, and there 100 problems or more per test, and 3 or fewer tests per semester, it is statistically unlikely that anyone will get less than 20% on more than one test per semester.
So the students that put forth almost no effort to get 60% on an exam will now have incentive to work even less ... to get the 20% ...
Everyone get a trophy, because they participated in a sporting event ... everyone gets a diploma because they showed up.
Put the basket at 4’ and even I can slam dunk.
Has California passed Mississippi yet? No offense ,Miss.. .
This is incredibly sad. Growing up in California, we had the best schools in the nation.
Stupidly worded headline. Should say 20% or less is an F, 21% or greater is an A
That’ll happen when the majority of the state has an IQ below 90.
Obama Math!
Woo Hoooo!
At least it's consistent.
Same technique as national statistics since Obumgo took office.
It's worked for crime Statistics, Unemplyment, National Debt, Black crime, etc., etc., Etc...
My dad has been a teacher for 40+ years, and he still grades on a curve. Most students like ‘curved’ grades...but they really mean ‘scaled’ grades.
Rather the curve ensures a couple of students get an A, a few get an F, some more B’s and D’s, and the majority get a C. C used to mean ‘Average’...as in the average grade in the class is a C.
Grades are racis.
Go ahead LIBs. Dumb things down further. Now your little darlings will be losers with better grades.
