This article is unironically categorized under "academic rigor"



Blah, blah, blah equity blah blah inclusion blah blah


quote:

the practice of grading, and ranking, students is so widespread as to seem necessary, even though many researchers say it is highly inequitable.


quote:

Grades "increase students’ stress" and are "disproportionately challenging for students of color"

Students with educational privilege




Wait!!! What's this here? The real reason:

Third, and I admit this is selfish: I hate grading


She's basically just fricking lazy.

Current students are in for a rude awakening in the real world. You don’t get graded in life. You get hired, reprimanded, fired, or a raise or salary cut.

It's more widespread than you think.

Preach! Let’s get smart boards in the classrooms and reach these youth.

With no grades, it will simply become a who-you-know thing to get hired.

I wish I could say “I no longer listen to patients. I throw them my script pad and pen while I play FF6 on my cell phone.”

We really need to find some real problems to complain about, because this shite is getting old.

Some stress is good. It allows you to not be a fricking ditch digger for the rest of your life because you realized you have to work for anything meaningful in life.

Tell me again why we should send our boys to college instead of pushing them towards a skilled certification right out of high school?

I keep reading this here.

But when I look at the real world, I see a government giving away money, businesses catering to every whim and desire of young millennials, an inordinate focus on "equity and inclusion" at every level, and a level of freedom given to workers that has never been seen before.

What exactly is going to wake them up here?

Funny for those in Louisiana taking LEAP things like spelling, punctuation, and grammar are not really a big deal. They worry more about the content that the student wrote than how they arrived at their point. A reason why many teachers no longer focus on things like that

College is pointless for 80% of students, they should be focused on technical skills that will help them more than a worthless degree

Why do you think the equity/racism crowd has policy in place to protect or address each of those actions

Equity is one of the words I hate most.
