Florida school district ditching traditional letter grades for latest Common Core gimmick

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

First- and second-graders (and, for the record, kindergarteners) in Clay County, Fla. will no longer have to face anything as backward and reactionary as traditional letter grades when they return to school this week.

 

The county, which is a mix of rural areas and some Jacksonville suburban sprawl, will roll out a newfangled standards-based reporting system, reports The Florida Times-Union.

 

The goal of the new system is to describe each student’s understanding and command of Florida’s new Common Core standards.
