the problem here is that being a teacher implies a certain degree of mastery over the subject you're teaching, at least to a degree higher than students. So the problem is not the authority of the teacher, but how it manifest itself under capitalism

I just read titles. Dont see its your b****ass until I'm already in

It should just be emphasized that failing in school isn’t failing in life. If you don’t do well in school you’re just not suited for what they’re training you for. There’s lots of careers outside stem medicine law and education

Personally I feel the best way to teach someone anything is to get them so good at it that they will be able to teach it to others and demonstrate. But that leads more into me just not liking how things are taught to kids and how they are tested on it, but that's a different type of discussion.

I can't fault people for wanting the hi-score though

Just got to be aware of your goals, and self worth. Realize that they aren't a part of your individual or your propensity to be successful within this world.

I know dropouts who are millionaires, I know A students that haven't done s*** with their lives.

OP showed up to class with nothing but a folder

Should be pass or no pass

But you still posted on my thread on some p**** ass fan s***. You a hoe ass nigga in real life I already know

how else are you going to measure someone's knowledge on subjects?

There are schools across the country that don't utilize a traditional grading system or have moved toward getting rid of grades. But there's too much of a lack of resources to implement such personalized education. Only rich schools or schools with low class room size can succeed with this.

go to the first page I addressed this. Valid question tho glad you asked

Agreed

they had to take op into a separate room when they did tests

some students are naturally more "gifted" at things than others though, at least in certain narrow contexts.

I don't think the solution is necessarily to hide or eliminate this. instead, you should create a system where ALL students can discover their individual gifts/passions, and reach their full potential within those areas.

at the same time, I agree that it shouldn't be framed as "you don't have a natural aptitude for x thing so you can never do it". students should understand that their minds are malleable, and be encouraged to experiment and explore different avenues

Ya be doing a lil too much with ya threads now

this is the main issue

kids are shoehorned from an early age into believing they don't have an aptitude for math or whatever

What else would incentivize them to push themselves

There are countries out there who don’t resign to grading and testing and they all seem to be doing fine on an educational front allowing their students to learn and grow in more natural ways. Education isn’t a prerequisite for learning and failure is an inherent part of life. You don’t need a grade to excel at either.

I would imagine the negative effects of grading outweight the positives, and it certainly isn't going to incentivize anyone who wasn't already doing well.

Humans are naturally curious creatures, we quite often do not need to be incentivized to learn. Capitalist school systems do a great job crushing that curiosity.
