The Arlington County School Board in Virginia recently introduced a proposal that would essentially eradicate the grading system as we know it.
According to Fox News, the proposal would force educators to allow their students an unlimited number of retakes on assignments, ban giving out extra credit, and would effectively eliminate homework completely by prohibiting it from being graded at all.
As justification for the radical changes, proponents of the new system claim that certain basic standards – like having late penalties in education – could potentially harm poor and minority children who they claim may not have access to resources necessary to complete assignments on time.
“Additionally, it has been suggested that students should not be graded on homework assignments because the fear of making mistakes will have a negative impact on their learning process,” Fox News added.
By every available definition, that is the epitome of ‘the soft bigotry of low expectations.’
Naturally, the proposal sparked outrage among parents whose children attend schools in Arlington County, but – somewhat surprisingly – even some of the traditionally-woke educators strongly opposed the ridiculous plan. Numerous teachers from the area slammed the proposal, saying that it would give children a blanket free pass while dramatically reducing the quality of education in the county.
Everyone passes!
That’s how we get incompetence everywhere in government!
The interview process will be much easier from now on in the private sector – and the truly educated and experienced will get jobs. It is getting easier to tell the groups apart – expeshully when they axe questions!
