Andrew Coley, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction, Northwest Christian School: Is it Time to Do Away with Grades?

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!It's a question that is increasingly being asked within the field of education and beyond.  Have we reached a point within our culture in which it is now time to do away with grades and academic marks of any sort?As related in a recent article from the Los Angeles Times which relates that two of California's largest school districts--Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified--have radically restructured student feedback mechanisms and are, believe it or not, moving towards the elimination of grades.But, before we get on the "anti-California" bandwagon, perhaps we should seriously consider both the pros and the cons of current grading strategies.  Is there some virtue to these notions?"Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit:  https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit:  https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email [email protected] or you can reach him by cell phone:  (623)225-5573.
