A recent national survey reports that half of American schools require ‘Equitable’ Grading and most teachers are opposed. The report identifies five equitable grading practices: unlimited test retakes, no late penalties, no zeroes, no homework, and no required participation. Critics cite examples of the policy enabling students to survive by going through the motions, but in the end losing out. Many school districts report a majority of students being as much as three years behind in basic proficiency. What is Creator’s perspective about American K-12 education and the reasons for chronic underperformance?

The National Center for Education Statistics charted a significant decline in literacy of adults across education levels in the period from 1992 to 2003. Alarmingly, they showed that 69% of college graduates couldn’t read any reasonably complex material with an acceptable level of understanding, and even 41% of candidates for higher degrees were not proficient in reading. Studies by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa in their 2011 book, Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses, tracked students during college and found “limited or no learning for a large proportion of students.” That must also reflect failure of K-12 schooling to prepare students adequately. What is behind this dismal picture?
