Just when you thought schools had stopped being so insanely stupid with their rules designed to “soften” the blow of the dreaded G word (grades) along comes the Gwinnett County schools in Georgia with their upside down grading!

Gone are the days of A-B-C-D-F… that’s just too much to think about! Welcome to Gwinnett Grades!

D=Exceeds Standards
C=Meets Standards
B=Does Not Meet Standards
A=Significantly Does Not Meet Standards

The best part is that beyond the absurdity of reversing the letter grades they’ve assigned WORDS to the grades to make them “make sense” to the parents.

D - Democracy
C - Cooperative
B - Bothers
A - Anarchy

I’m sorry, this is just a WASTE of time. It’s like painting a monkey yellow and calling him a banana… it’s STILL a monkey!

You can eliminate tag, and dodgeball, you can change your grading pens from red to purple to lessen the shock of that big re… er purple F they get when they do a bad job, you can even flip your letter grades upside down. You’re job is STILL to teach… unfortunately, softening up our kids is their primary job. Education comes second.
