I have masters degree in teaching. I think that the most equitable form of education and grading is in mastery with pass/fail: this is where students must learn a topic or concept to pass a quiz before moving on to the next topic. This is complicated, and impractical for large classes--there are too many students to try to help move along and finish the required material. So that's why it isn't often used--because administrators pack 30+ kids into a classroom. But if there were 15-20 kids, it's hard to beat mastery education. Everyone gets a real shot at passing, the kids who struggle get more attention, and the education goals are met. If you are interested, look up "Winnetka System" for an explanation and example.
