I don't think records should reflect a student's socio economic status. It should reflect whether they are meeting expectations or not, and if they're not, they should receive more attention in helping to correct their problem. But the tone of this article i do not agree with. I have seen no metrics to suggest what you assert. How do you know that 'rich' kids are getting a pass relative to 'poor' kids. There are those who would suggest just the opposite. If you want to track a metric, follow the student's progress and see if their grades there reflect what their high school grades showed. If not, then maybe there is a problem at the high school, but to say its at 'rich' kids schools is disingenuous at best. There are 'not so rich' students in charter schools because their parents are willing to sacrifice so their children can get out of what has been turned into public reformatory schools. Public schools and their attendant politicians and administrators focus on diversity and multiculturalism, throwing money at the problem which ends up in the administrators and politicians pockets. Focus on studies, individuals students, and track them in college in you're really concerned. Telling teachers to stop grade inflation is never going to happen if they're held responsible for a student's failure due to factors beyond the teachers control.
