This Week: Coming out of the pandemic, schools across the country implemented versions of more equitable grading practices.

A piece out of Chalkbeat Chicago this week sums up the debate nicely in their high schools. Also, we talk through “This Week in American Fascism in Education” where Donny, Linda, and Kristi took a couple Ls (for now) when they tried to kick all the international students out of Harvard, and pave the way for public funding of religious charter schools. Manuel and Jeff discuss!
