Multiple California school districts are dropping failing grades from their curriculum, instead opting for marks such as “incomplete,” Fox 5 San Diego reported.

Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Oakland Unified, Sacramento City Unified and other California districts will restrict the use of “D” and diminish “F” grades, Fox 5 San Diego reported. High schoolers who fail a test or assignment will get another chance to finish the work or get a higher grade.

Students who never complete their work or fail a final exam would receive an “incomplete,” which are components of the competency-based learning framework, according to EdSource. Those in favor of the grading style believe students should be assessed on their mastery of what they have learned, not how they do on a test.

We may very well see employers that never had in the past start requiring an intelligence test as part of the interview process. Lord knows even close to thirty years ago I had employees that couldn't make change if the till closed before they got it, kids were too dependent on calculators and weren't taught to think on their own.
