Washington State Officials Ban Teachers from giving Students F's

In the latest of countless coronavirus-related bans issued throughout the U.S., Washington state has prohibited teachers from giving students Fs during the pandemic.

A set of guidelines issued by the State Superintendent's Office instructs Washington high school teachers to issue an "incomplete" to any student who fails to meet requirements needed to pass. The mark won't affect a student's grade point average.

More than 1.1 million students in Washington have been attending virtual classes from home since March 17th, when the state shut down schools in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

While this might seem fair, given that some students might not take to learning from home, why can't the same courtesy be extended to kids who have trouble learning in a classroom environment?
