“The most likely source is the Indies short-tailed cricket,” the report concluded.

🤔 A middle school in Minnesota has decided to get rid of the “F” grade… to fight “systemic racism”.
White Bear Lake School’s new grading scale has got rid of the 0-49.9 percentile for pupils – and doesn’t include such factors as late arrival, behaviour, or attitude.
The school adopted the new system after an equity audit was conducted, according to its website. It says that grading “can be one of the largest areas in which systemic racism and inequities are perpetuated”.
