South Carolina Passes 'GRADE FLOOR' Ban For K-12 Public Schools
[DELMARVAPTC] In a move to protect educational excellence, consistency and standards, the State of Carolina has become the first state in the U.S. to ban "grade floor" policies in K-12 public schools.

For those who are not familiar with the "grade floor" policy, it is a practice that prevents teachers from giving a student a grade below the actual percentage the student earned.

The most common "floor" school systems adopt is the 50% minimum. Basically, a student need not do any work to earn at least a 50%. It's part of what is called "equity grading" which should be correctly called "enabling grading" because it enables students to appoint themselves as "victims" in order to skate by without achieving educational proficiency in school. It teaches students that they can't and don't have to achieve, especially when they face difficult content or situations. We have published several articles on this crippling policy. #
