Consider the following scenario:

As an 8th grade teacher for a school that is currently forced to teach only only/remotely, you begin to see a phenomenon in your students' grades. Students who you know to be in low income households are not doing well. You suspect it is because they don't have proper computer equipment or access to the internet. You notice some are going to friends houses or wherever they can access the tools they need to do their school work.

• What do you do when the school district requires reporting of average grades on all written school work, for each student, when approximately 1/3 of your class is struggling under the circumstances?
• Will you feel comfortable reporting the grades as they are, knowing funding for your school may depend on student progress?
• What approach would you take with this situation?
