Unfortunately the emphasis on effort in American schools has led to an increase in busywork and hoop jumping that achieves little. People can see when effort lacks meaningful reward.

Continuous assessment is a "the grind is the point" approach to education, outcomes and agency are secondary. Harvard wants students who work hard, but they do not want students to develop into uncreative grinds. More traditional exam based universities do not have this conflict.

Why are elite universities allowing students to get away with this? One reason is that, in contrast to more traditional exam based universities like Oxford and Cambridge, they use continuous assessment, a very time consuming and low agency approach to learning. It's not really…

New Zealand is having the same grade inflation debate. Good to see a report go into some depth rather than just saying "grade harder".

One of the biggest issues in American education - grades are increasingly treated as being comparable even if they are obviously not. Almost everyone getting an "A" is an unsurprising response. What critics seem to want is for good schools to continue penalizing their students.

No student in my class will ever take notes. Not an option. Occasionally, a student or parent will request it. The answer is always no.
Well intended post but inadvertently demonstrates how many kids who are involved in sports are increasingly limited in their ability to participate meaningfully in religious or family activities.

It’s a bright red line for me — not just for my fellow Christians, but for Gazans of any faith or no faith.

Manufacturing is a very sophisticated ecosystem with plenty of interesting high paying jobs. Just as there is more to banking than being a bank teller.

This applies to a wide range of “authentic” tasks and assessments. As a result, a lot of time is invested in canned authenticity leaving kids less time to devote to real life authentic experiences.

While they do not compare US and UK results, the issues raised in this podcast goes some way in explaining how roughly a 1/3 of England students leave school having passed the equivalent of 6 AP exams.

Initial thoughts on @_MathAcademy_, more coming over time. What I have seen is good enough to convince me to spend more time trying it out. As discussed by @mpershan, the teaching aspect needs work but this is less of an issue for anyone previously exposed to the material or…
Are we at the point where we can say @JoeCFeldman was right and that grades should reflect a student's level of achievement at the end of a course?

In the US, high school diplomas from different states are often treated as comparable even though they are not. Why then should any state set a higher standard for graduation? So that kids from other states can have an advantage over their kids when looking for jobs? Similar…
