Wrong again.
Hopefully, the above helps you understand things that you simply don't understand.

The left failed so stupendously on K-12 ed since 2020. Racial equity-based ideas to remove algebra, remove standardized testing, lower standards for reading and math -- all have failed. But Republicans are too hyper focused on idiotic culture war to bring this up effectively.

Sadly, your reading comprehension is just as bad as your hearing.
Obama never said that it was a temporary measure.
I caught you lying again.
Shocker.

Democrats lose so much because of all the Surrendur Democrats
It is not feasible to have California election law determined by Texas outcomes. If Texas changes something at the last minute then CA plans are invalidated? Be serious.
If Texas changed plans before CA voted then Team Newsom could have pulled Prop 50 (subject to those laws). Now CA has voted. Stand strong and stop being whimpering Surrendur Democrats.
Yeah, but it was sold to voters as a law with a trigger that would reverse if Texas reversed. If it turns out it's not that way then at least some subset of voters will feel misled. This kind of switcheroo loses trust.

I definitely agree with you here. It probably wouldn't matter locally as I don't see California turning red anytime soon but it could hurt Gavy if he actually runs for president

I can't remember the details but there was news a little while back about some school district in CA adopting a grading scale where A's went all the way down to like 80%; F's started at like 50%. Cray cray.
I am a recently retired high school teacher and my kids are currently in 8th and 11th grade.
Grading by strict percentages (no matter what they are) can be problematic.
If one of your softball players is batting .450, that's probably good, right? Well, 45% is actually an "F" by many measures.
If an airline pilot lands his plane safely 95% of the time, he gets an "A", but I'm not going near his flight.
These are extreme examples to prove a point, but you get the idea. More to the point, I can make up a multiple choice test to get most any scores I want by manipulating the "distractors" (wrong answers).
Society wants percentage-based grading because it seems objective. It can be, in theory, but oftentimes it is not.

In a post above I mentioned grade inflation.
I then mentioned the problem with pushing kids to perform.
Two different issues, but as a teacher and a parent I'd love to hear your thoughts on both.
Is grade inflation real? What percentage of kids get (got) A's in your classes, school? What should the (a) curve look like?
If one school were to implement a strict curve and others don't, that F's up the first school's kids college application competitiveness. So then it should be mandated statewide?
When I graduated HS, I understood that 3 kids had straight A's all 4 years. But now it may be as high as 10%, a teacher estimated to me. They award two valedictorians:
One by the AP adjusted GPA method, the other by the non-adjusted method so that kids who take welding or FFA can be honored - not just STEM kids. In either case, A+'s matter, A's won't cut it.
My second daughter had more A+'s than regular A's and was a runner up. Imagine that.

That's great to hear.
Kind of weird that someone that was "following" me and everyone of my posts this last year only made $10.
I guess "stalking" doesn't pay.
