Cheating and you stay in school.
Homework not graded.
The dumbing down of America continues.
Idiocracy was a work of Non-Fiction
Because a kid’s self esteem is all that matters.
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
If you try and educate children, you might fail. That would make you look bad. So don’t try and educate the children.
I triple-guarantee you that your employer WILL be grading you every minute of your shift.
How to raise a bunch of entitled, spoiled, talentless wastes.

Coonasses - or just dumbasses?
Shakes head...
No point in sending them to school.
If it isn’t graded, you don’t do it
Just more grade inflation leading to school being a participation trophy where everyone gets an A+ and graduates.
I see it in colleges too. In business, I no longer accept a Bachelor’s degree. Minimum of a Master’s, and I prefer a Doctorate’s. Seems even the Master’s programs are letting anyone graduate, and many Doctorate degrees are clapping for credits.
I also don’t accept any GPA below 3.78. Anything less is unacceptable since grade inflation means an A just for turning in any lousy work.
I’ve watched colleges give a D- to students that did zero work just to ensure they didn’t flunk out.
Is this school district mostly black? Just wondering...
“”You need to be reprimanded for the answers correct and incorrect.””
Why does a correct answer need a reprimand?
This is some truly awful writing. First off, article doesn't explain who Terrence Ruffins is and the last sentence in that quote shows either Mr. Ruffins is a complete idiot or the anonymous author is. I'm guessing it's the author.
Why? Too many of those "perfect" HW papers were spoon fed to the student by parents or tutors. Other reason, struggling students would be discouraged from even trying if they knew they'd probably get it wrong.
The result of that approach? (1)EVERY student who met my criteria passed all their tests and quizzes. And I NEVER scaled grades. (2) Class average and median grades both increased dramatically (3) Administrators sometimes got really upset that my student grades weren't a "perfect" bell curve.
Really, really, really, really believe you’ve done your homework and you have.
I always thought homework should be graded on a pass / fail based on apparent effort, or lack thereof.
Homework is practice, the tests are what matters. Grading homework simply allows students who can’t produce on the tests an opportunity to salvage a passing grade.
If you can’t perform on the test, did you really pass?

Only two Blacks! I am amazed that White People in LA think like this.
> We don’t want to penalize kids for the practice along the way. <
As a high school math and science teacher, I actually agree with that. When I checked homework, it was always for effort, and never for accuracy.
And more than that. I always gave every homework problem answer ahead of time. That way, if a student attempted the problem and didn’t get the right answer, he could try again.
Grading for accuracy - that’s for tests, not for homework. And by the way, I was known as one of the toughest test graders in the school.
That’s why you should homeschool your kids. Or a Charter School where if they don’t get the homework right, they fail their test that week. There’s just no way I would want my kids in public or private school for that matter.
