“ Equity” in it, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with equity in the DEI sense.

“Dublin Unified’s new grading policy will go into effect for all 6th through 12th grade classes next year and is part of a national shift toward “equity grading” – a controversial concept that moves away from traditional grading to better measure how well students understand what they are being taught.

The goal is to lower the impact of things that “fluff” grades – extra credit, class participation and homework – while also making it easier for lower-performing students to bounce back from failing.“

The devil is in the details but that doesn’t sound so horrible.
