Grading students right now would be completely inequitable and unethical. Let’s make the decision to do what’s best for kids instead.
The biggest source of stress for my students right now is their grades. I keep telling them to stop worrying about this, but they can't let it go. Learning trumps grades!

Only 18% of #computerscience degrees are given to women?! Two of our girls #code their #Ozobot to “u-turn” away from that sad statistic! #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM
