in response to the challenges of remote learning. However, Bloomfield questions why the practice was made a permanent fixture.
"The school system took advantage of the crisis to make it seem as if students were doing better than they were," he said. He explained,"The Department of Education took advantage of the pandemic to promote a false story of district success instead of fully meeting the needs of its students. The problem with the ‘NX’ was not that it was given initially, but it wasn't followed up with real schoolwork. And that's at the hands of the DOE."
Thirty percent of students who were slated to fail had their grades converted to"NX," according to the report. Once the student completes the work, the"NX" is removed from their record. "They lowered an already low bar," said Bloomfield.told Chalkbeat that they felt pressure to funnel students through despite their concerns of their mastery over the materials.
