À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode, I reflect on how grading shifted from traditional point-based systems to standards-based grading and grading for learning — and how, in many schools, those frameworks eventually gave way to equity-driven policies that changed what grades actually represent.
I believe in equity. I believe in standards-based grading. But I also believe we need to be honest about what’s happening when grades stop communicating learning and start communicating compliance, survival, or optics.
We’ll talk about:
- why grades feel meaningless to many teachers
- how student apathy and entitlement didn’t come out of nowhere
- why parents increasingly see grades as negotiable
- and how teachers are caught between professional ethics and institutional pressure
I don’t have a solution by the end of this episode. What I do have is a growing concern that we’re avoiding a necessary conversation — one about accountability, motivation, and what we’re actually teaching students when effort no longer matters.
If you’ve ever wondered whether grading still serves students the way we hope it does, this episode is for you.
