[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it fair to Herndon students who actually did learn the material by attending classes and completing assigned work so that they passed the first test and will actually retain the skills. Unlike students who passed version D of the same test, after seeing it three times in a row. It is not fair. Herndon teacher.[/quote]
The idea is that grading, in general, creates disparity or in more relevant terms inequities. Ultimately, I think proponents of SBG systems and systems like it would prefer no grades at all; it should be about whether the student learned the material. Performance-based evaluation, e.g., who learned what faster or better, is unnecessary.

Of course, this leads to questions about what happens after high school, specifically with college admissions and even the workforce. If everyone is equal, then the sky is limit... lol.[/quote]

"A new study has found that patients of newly trained doctors tend to have higher survival rates if the doctor scored highly on board certification exams. Tests, it turns out, might not be racist, but actually quite good predictors of competence." - The Free Press, https://hms.harvard.edu/news/resident-physicians-exam-scores-tied-patient-survival?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email (Harvard Medical School) [/quote]
I mean tests are ok, but we should look at decolonizing science and turn to other ways of knowing. [/quote]

Exactly. You get the gist.[/quote]

What does “decolonizing science” mean?!!![/quote]

It means looking at all of culture and knowledge and practices as somehow coming from a place of oppression and evil. Similar to acting like learning in school and grading somehow have no bigger meaning and purpose than to be oppressive and create a hierarchical society. Its looking at things in the world through a very narrow and misguided lens.[/quote]
