[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You must be white. Biased grading is a real concern in the United States and multiple studies have shown terrible bias by teachers especially in English in their grading. Kids can't really learn properly when the grading does not accurately reflect their achievements.[/quote]

There is tons of bias in grading but it’s not just a race thing. It can be a handwriting thing, a gender thing, a topic thing, etc. My kids have the perspective that their English teachers have been biased against more highly able students by holding less highly able students to a much lower standard to get the same grades. I agree that when you have human teachers there might be bias, but so many assessments are auto graded. I guess the written assignments could be graded blind. I don’t know that we need some huge study when we already have limited resources and bigger pressing issues like so many students below grade level. [/quote]

You don't sound very bright. This does not require a "huge study." This would take a few hours on a spreadsheet.[/quote]

The OP suggested that they do multiple studies. I agree it does not require multiple studies or a huge study. That is what I said! Why do I not sound very bright? Why do you need to attack my intelligence in order to make your point?[/quote]
