SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Some of California’s largest school districts are dropping D and F grades for high school students. While the hope is that this will help students reengage in school after distance learning and boost their chances of acceptance into the state’s public colleges, some educators find lowering the bar both offensive and detrimental.
School districts in San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Sacramento are among several districts that are eliminating grades below a C beginning this school year.
