Virginia School District Targets Inequity by Shooting at Grades and Deadlines
By Alex Parker | Dec 31, 2021 2:45 AM ET

For those currently in school who’ve been oppressed by the evils of conditions, rejoice: You may soon receive unconditional love.

At least that’s the case if your classroom’s in Arlington, Virginia.

Arlington Public Schools (APS) seems sick of differences in the world, so it’s decided to attain supreme sameness.

Since pupils will meet objective standards to varying degrees, standards should be shrugged off.

Unless I misunderstand, if we pretend everyone’s alike, then they magically are.

The district’s proposed a four-point fundamental overhaul in the name of that greatest of goods, equity.

WJLA lays ’em out:

        No late penalties for homework — because the proposal says it leads to inaccurate grades as it reflects on student’s behavior and not student achievement
        No extra credit — as the proposal says extra credit leads to biased grades and penalizes students with fewer resources
        Unlimited redoes and retakes on assignment
        No grading for homework as the proposal says mistakes are vital to learning and students are less likely to take risks when they fear they will be graded down for making a mistakes

We are headed towards a national education disaster of which the impacts (as of now) cannot be estimated...

Just wait until these kids join the work force. They will not understand.

Making us a turd world country.  that is what it is about.  How would like this to be your surgeon?  Doctor? Pharmacist? We have a bunch of turd world doctors already.  One was saving money on syringes and re-used them. Infected some with Hepatitis, HIV.  DESAI.

No they won't, they will be uber millennials who will expect to be paid for doing nothing and have whatever they want given to them because that will be the only thing they are taught in school. This is why the socialists are pushing universal income, it's the reward for idiots voting for socialist democrats, the club if they don't and the reason socialist schools are so intent on turning out students who can't understand what is happening.

I can't believe they'd grade homework anyway. Just make sure it's being done.

This drive for radical egalitarianism is a major pillar of leftism.But it never accomplishes anything because people differ in their abilities.
