A veteran teacher, is sounding the alarm regarding corrupt educational practices that don't serve students! Why aren't students entering college ready to succeed? There is a direct connection between trendy, money making educational scams that are taking this nation by storm and students that enter college or the workforce lost and unprepared.
Whenever educators try to speak up they are silenced and gaslighted by administrators that are lost in their own echo chambers!
One massive issue centers around ineffective grading practices such as standards based grading (sometimes called equitable grading) and evidence based reporting. It is almost impossible for a student to fail even if they never turn in major assignments. Students are allowed to have infinite chances to redo work, and there is no such thing as a deadline! Failure is eliminated and excuses are made for poor effort. This has to stop!
