Not a headline but it should be
Straight A's. But are students actually prepared for what comes next?
A 2025 report from UC San Diego found that nearly 12% of incoming freshmen needed math courses covering material below college level.
Even more surprising? In 2024, more than a quarter of students placed in the university's lowest math course had earned a 4.0 GPA in high school math.
I don't think this is simply about teachers giving out easy A's. Teachers are under enormous pressure to make sure students pass.
And I wonder how many would LOVE the autonomy to simply say, “You didn't do the work. You failed.”
Not because we want students to fail. But because sometimes failure is important feedback. It's an opportunity for students to take responsibility, for families and schools to recognize where support is needed, and for kids to learn how to recover from setbacks.
Scaffolding, accommodations, and second chances absolutely have their place. But so does accountability.
At some point, students need to demonstrate what they can do independently. Otherwise, are we actually preparing them for what comes next, or just making sure they get there?
Teachers, do you feel like you have the autonomy to give students the grades they've actually earned? And are our grading policies helping or hurting long-term readiness?

FAA issues nationwide ground stop for all flights
What's happening now
• Ground stop: All flights in the United States are grounded until further notice, “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety,” the Federal Aviation Administration said.• Cause not yet known: The reason for the ground stop was not immediately clear, but an FAA spokesperson said there is a communications problem impacting Air Route Traffic Control Centers, which handle flights going across the country. Preliminary reports indicate this is not a cyberattack, according to two law enforcement officials.
• Rare instance: The last time there was a nationwide ground stop was in January 2023, when a pilot notification system went down. Prior to that, the last nationwide ground stop was issued after the September 11, 2001, attacks.
