This article catches my attention from the beginning. It is incredible to see how important it is to create some policies for grading students in terms of Equity. Nowadays, the situation about COVID-19 has developed some complicated circumstances since the classes have to continue. Besides, it is clear that exist many resources and many platforms that allow the process of learning even at distance, but what happened with children that do not have any technological device at home? or an internet connection? Teachers have to take into account that every family has a good economic situation to receive classes or materials. For these reasons, it is really complicated for us as teachers have the responsibility to grade someone who does not have the resources to do it. The educations have to re-evaluate this process in terms of virtual grades.
