JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 30 - "D" Grades

 Schools should eliminate "D" grades. According to Gazette Extra, "As the story explains, you wouldn’t pay for “D” quality plumbing, fly with a “D”-rated pilot or dine at a “D” restaurant. So students will only get grades of “A,” “B,” “C” or “F” starting this fall" (source link). This shows that starting this fall students will have to work for a grade higher than "D". This also shows that people wouldn't want "D" quality things. According to The New York Times, "the campaign against D’s works as a way to raise the bar and motivate students to work" (source link). This shows that this movement can help students bring their grade up. This also shows that students will have to bring their grades up in order to pass the class. In conclusion, students should eliminate "D" grades.
