What is this "decent" point? His point is as valid as "because a woman didn't get a promotion, that proves gender discrimination".

That’s exactly how I graded it. I gave him the C- because I asked for, just as a previous poster said, topic, evidence, analysis, and a transition. This particular student gave me evidence, but did not give me examples to back up his claims, which is the whole idea behind writing a paper like this.

His argument is definitely pretty stupid imo, but in high school it seems like his grade on this sort of thing should mainly be based off of his ability to communicate an argument, not the teacher's opinion of his position. Also, your saying that "liberal propaganda has gone too far" because some stupid kid wrote a stupid paper is as bad as saying that "conservative ideology has gone too far" because some dumb kid wrote a paper saying that evolution is fake.

I usually try not to assign over the weekend or over the holiday, but I had to squeeze this assignment in.

If you listened to the Big 870 WWL this afternoon, Duece’s description of the NFL combine fit the slave auction block to the T. The Cajun Cannon wanted to go there in his description, but you could tell he held back a little somehow and didn’t outright equate it as such, but he wanted to. I can see the kid’s point, though it is a little dramatic.

I ask, what is the point? Serious question.

My grades out of engineering were not as high as a few others, and I knew their value to certain employers was likely higher. Were those employers mimicking slavery when they "graded" our resumes?

Just tell him it’s natural selection. The better player let’s say someone like Antonio Brown would have a better overall like 97 compared to a 94 Dez Bryant. That kid needs to understand competition and alpha/beta survival. Clearly those looking on the market would want 97 AB over 94 Dez. It’s simple economics. Sounds like the SJW kid is in to socialism.

So you gave the kid an assignment, he did it, and you screwed him because he offended your political sensibilities?

And he’s the snowflake?

You clearly didn’t read the bottom of my post. You would not do well in my class with reading comprehension.

He wrote that paper the way he did because that’s what he thinks you want him to think. In other words, your student think you’re a liberal pussy and wrote his paper that way so he could get a decent grade.

I can see you as one of those teachers who doesn’t let his students use the restroom because “they should have gone at lunch/recess.”

The next paper he writes, be alert to the subtle kick a teachers arse game he's about to code.

No not at all, I hate that rule. If you gotta go, you gotta go. I’m not that big of a prick.

Never understood it either. I mean, it would make sense that shortly AFTER lunch you would need to use the restroom.
