I have a friend who teaches math/science in Santa Monica (Crossroads).
He told me: I have opposed grading for years. I support mastery transcripts: no letter grades, all grades are narratives
reply
Oh, no way. We live near that area and visited Crossroads as a possible choice for sending one of our kids.
I understand where your friend is coming from, but I don't think it's always practical. It could work at a smaller sized private school, but not a large public one.
There also needs to be an objective criterion by which students are held back. To me, the biggest problem in our education system is we're not holding back kids who should be.

Crossroads is expensive and has too many Hollywood elitists.
They were woke before it was trendy for schools to be woke.

Sadly, non-woke options are few and far between in Commiefornia

Agree, what I meant to say was that Crossroads is the most woke because they are OG woke.
Their covid protocols were insane.
I know another couple that both teach at Crossroads. They have 2 sons who attend charter school (elementary and middle). I think the charter school is in Westchester near the airport.
