Grading Writing Based On Quality Is ‘Racist,’ Promotes ‘White Language Supremacy’

This is from a college dean at Arizona St University



I wonder what this little dweeb feels like standing way back there at the end of the virtue signaling line?

quote:

An Arizona State University Associate Dean penned a 358-page book detailing how grading student’s writing is a form of racism and white supremacy.

In a book titled “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom,” professor Asao Inoue encourages teachers to ditch grading for a “labor-based” grading system wherein students earn grades based on their effort. The quality of a student’s writing would not help or hinder their course grade.

quote:

Near the beginning of the document, the author admits that the theory of “labor-based” grading is rooted in critical race theory. Critical race theory is the idea that America is rooted in racism as are the systems of modern American society.

Critical race theory contributed to Inoue’s idea that ranking things is a system rooted in racism. Because grading is a form of ranking, grading must also be a racist idea. In his book, Inoue dubbed grading and the education system writ large “racist” for their connections to ranking.

So...to not be racist...I should expect minorities to write like shite, use poor grammar and make no sense?

Yeah, not racist at all with that approach.

A lot of the idiots they are trying to prop up can’t even speak normal English but some obscure hood dialect.

They going to grade my Spanish writing assignments by how hard I work rather than whether I use correct tenses or make grammatical mistakes such as saying “I have 21 assholes” instead of “I’m 21 years old”?

If that is true then that means the races are not equal and some are just not as smart of other races. So anyone saying that grading on quality is racist is a racist!

The only language that will convince these people to stop the madness is literal death.

It’s crazy to think that our current racist grading system would allow a black girl at my daughters school to be captain of the dance line, more than likely valedictorian, homecoming queen and getting a scholarship to Harvard. All of these things are accomplished through good grades. On top of that, all of this happened at a school that has been protested at times as being racist, West Monroe High School.

What they're doing is instead of going through the effort of trying to bring the kids lagging behind to a higher level they are taking the easy way out and dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

Just like the media and so many others educators have abandoned their pride and standards of their craft and its unforgivably irresponsible, both to the students and the nation

Anything that expects or grades in quality, uniformity and held to a svelte is racist.

Because those three things rewrite effort. You have to learn a standard. You would need to be able to use the standard well. And you would need to complete the task on time.

These all take work.

Expecting people to actually work is obviously racist.

Professor can pass them with bad work if he wants but he’s not doing them any favors in the real world. Resumes that are full of bad grammar and misspellings are going to end up in the trash at most businesses.

I'm actually find of telling my students "grades are not wages." Don't whine about how much effort you put in when you make 20 on an exam.

Maybe there is some room for more open mindedness in writing style, but correct grammar and spelling should be a starting point. Arguing that minorities can't write as well is racist.

Racist or not, if you can't effectively communicate in writing and speech I am not giving you a job. Sorry. Go work in the warehouse.

I have a feeling that asian and white students are going to come out on top again, if the grading is based on the amount of hours put into their homework / reports.

None of them actually believes this shite. They're just chipping away at western civilization. Academia has long been leftist, but now they are newly emboldened.

White = racist.

Currently, this is the only platform that the Democrat’s seem (even the white ones) to agree on.

I wonder how many libs here share this guys sentiment?
