A longtime Woodland Park High School teacher speaks out about a district-wide shift to “equity grading,” which removed letter grades, eliminated deadlines, and allowed students to submit all work at the end of the year. He describes how the policy, introduced under the guise of racial equity, made it difficult to hold students accountable or ensure meaningful learning. Citing examples like receiving academic credit for casual conversations, he warns that the system lowers standards for everyone and ultimately harms student outcomes.
