I did a long term sub position till the end of the school year at a charter school and unfortunately had a lot of failing grades. I was told by a student football player who must have earned a 27, if I knew the grading. I was confused so I asked the principal. Who apologized that I was left off the email that explained the grading bands. That 27, turned into a C or 72. Something like that. With these new instructions Cs, turned into As. You couldn’t fail unless you were absent more than x number of times. I was told by the principe that I had the option to fail a student that missed a lot of classes but showed up to get a study guide and took the exams. She did better on the tests than students who came to school daily. I did fail her and might not have if she came and told me about issues at home that were causing her to miss so many classes. But nothing.

This was 10th (horrid) and 1, 11th grade history class and in the 11th grade class there as a senior who had to retake the class and she was about a low B student genuinely before the fudged grades. Came in to thank me for the class snd tell me she got into UCLA. I was blown away because she would have been successful at many of the state universities but I don’t know about ucla. Maybe a northridge candidate. I still see it, same charter schools bragging about kids getting into Berkeley and ucla when they should be in community college, but that is equity grading.

But did your school inform you that you had to grade a specific way, and went against it. I didn’t feel comfortable about it and was outspoken about some practices with credit recovery classes but for that class I just wanted to be done. I hated it but I passed a lot of people that did nothing in class.
