I’ve been to Schenectady, and it really feels like a shell of its former self. The city is in a doom-loop with GE's decline, the city never really bounced back. Now, it’s like the struggles have trickled down into its school system. They're trying new concepts like 'grade equity,' but if students' grades are slipping, it feels like the city is still grappling with the same issues it had years ago.

Some form of this has been going on since at least the 70s. Used to be called, "social passing." Teachers were instructed forced by the administration to give darkies a passing grade.
