It’s almost like it’s by design.

If the population is retarded and dependent on the government for their well being and livelihood, the government has all the power and control.

critical race theory

white people created (insert literally anything here), therefore it obviously was designed to benefit white people at the expense of everyone else



I mean that's pretty much CRT's filter on how they view the world.

Correct. Its perfect because you can literally blame anything on white people.

Kendi is a despicable, racist, mental midget of a failed abortion.

The only thing his work is useful for is fire kindling in case of emergency

administrators and teachers are raising the possibility of adjusting grading the way they did in spring, where instructors were told to give 50s instead of 0s to make it less punitive for disengaged students



That's the solution just add 50 points to the students' test who don't bother to show up. Then give them an easy assignment whenever they do show up, averages out to a passing grade.

School districts from coast to coast have reported the number of students failing classes has risen by as many as two or three times — with English language learners and disabled and disadvantaged students suffering the most.

Just make C the new F. Easy. We need to continue to lower the bar.

Excuse me sir, the correct acronym is now BIPOC. Update your RightThink dictionary please.

Students are struggling with lack of structure and routine. So what's their solution?

Now, teachers have been instructed to give less homework, prioritizing the most important assignments. They’ve been encouraged to find alternatives to traditional lectures. Grading has been changed from a 100-point system to a 50-point so that missed assignments with zeroes hurt students less.


...Even less structure.


Parents here have gone to the school board to demand less work. When our SBDM was reviewing the homework policy for our school, the meeting was attended by a couple hundred parents ready to bust out pitchforks over the "ton of homework" their kids have.

Racist white parents actually caring about their child’s school work and leaving PoC behind

We have to ask ourselves if we would rather have F's or literal piles of dead kids?

I've seen 3rd graders bringing home 3 hours plus of homework in normal times, which is just insane.

Most of the teacher unions who raised holy hell about returning to the classrooms are primarily white. Let’s start there.

Absolutely. I think it's a very valid conversation that teachers could still teach high rigor without assigned 5 different projects to meet one benchmark. IMO this would be the perfect time to push into determining academic success by mastery/benchmarks instead of just straight up grading (which a lot of times ends up busy work).

I just wanted to point out, the teachers are doing that at the request of the parents in a lot of places. They're also trying to take into consideration the amount of screen time kids are experiencing in NTI.

How much homework is because the teacher can’t or won’t make them to class work?
