One thought on “Schools confront ‘off the rails’ numbers of failing grades

  1. We could also use this as an opportunity to completely revamp the American educational system. We can create (and likely already have created) online education designed for people learning online. Lessons can be taken at any time and progress with the student (rather than simply progressing whether the student gets it or not). Trying to adapt an in-person model for education into an online version (e.g., Zoom lectures all at once for LOTS of small groups all around the country operating at pretty much the same time) seems foolish when there are online systems for learning that are designed specifically for this task.
