multiple chances to take tests or redo essays. the strategy uses a 0 to 4 scale instead of 0 to 100. ten years ago, the san leandro school district changed its grading scale to reflect equitable grading practices. and in 2020, the castro valley unified school district started the transition. former educator joe feldman said that he saw a need to improve traditional grading practices. he wrote the book grading for equity. >> because teachers don't get trained how to grade. ironically, teachers are grading in lots of different ways and in equitable grading. the grade doesn't reflect anything except what the student has learned of what was taught in the course. >> if a student doesn't turn in a homework assignment and they get a zero, it's really hard to bring that zero up to a passing grade. students get much more motivated to learn because it's easier for them to understand how they demonstrate their learning. the disadvantage, i think, is that a lot of teachers really resent the idea that if a student doesn't get any work, that zero should count as a

zero. >> that's a retired college professor and education consultant who addressed the pros and cons of grading equity. and many parents have also been speaking out about this strategy. congressman ro khanna called it a betrayal of the american dream. live in the newsroom gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria. today is oakland, unified's final day of instruction for the 2024 2025 school year. that means it's also the last day for outgoing superintendent doctor kyla johnson trammell. she'll hold a news conference at ousd headquarters. she served for the past eight years. that is longer than any other superintendent in the past five decades. and community groups, including including the naacp, are calling for transparency and inclusive leadership from the oakland unified school district board. an open letter to the board disapproves of the decision to terminate the superintendent. it asks for a search committee with community representation and for town hall meetings with updates in the search for new

really recognizing how serious the budget issue is. >> experts say it's unlikely oakland will find money for more services. the council hopes to find ways to close the deficit in today's meeting and stay within the budget. global markets on the rise following a federal court ruling that blocked president trump's tariffs. >> yesterday, the courts struck down the president's use of the international emergency economic powers act to justify the sweeping tariffs. states and businesses sued the trump administration, saying the emergency is a figment of his own imagination. >> every few days there's a new thing, so it's very hard to predict. although we're beginning to see a pattern and the pattern is big demands, big threats, and then a postponement. >> in response, wall street has coined the term taco. it stands for trump always chickens out. when the president was asked about it yesterday, he argued

and denied hearing the term. the trump administration has vowed to appeal the ruling. the ruling does not affect the tariffs on steel, aluminum and imported cars, which were invoked under a different law. >> the port of los angeles is experiencing a 30% drop in cargo volume due to increased tariffs on chinese goods, the port's executive director tells cnn. 17 vessel arrivals were canceled in may. ten more are already canceled for june, with half of those in the first week. parts suppliers plan to keep a very low and steady stream of parts to avoid plant shutdowns, but the port's executive director says we'll likely see lower inventory and higher prices leading into the summer. >> elon musk is leaving his role as a top adviser to president trump. he spearheaded efforts to cut government spending, carrying out thousands of layoffs. he faced fierce political and legal blowback with multiple lawsuits against his department of government efficiency, otherwise known as doge. the administration says musk's role was always intended to be temporary. just days ago,
