How Modern Education Breeds Good Little Marxists

The good news is that the future will be anti prog because it's impossible to convince an urban prog to have kids.

The teacher's union is more concerned with defeating the current provincincial government than educating children.

An educational program meant to help students make up for their mistakes in school is apparently being misused by racial equity proponents and leading to children receiving high grades for very little work.

Credit recovery is a practice in which students, usually of high-school age, are given a second chance to learn a subject and prove their proficiency in that subject outside of normal class time.

Proponents say the practice can be very positive and effective when students fail because of circumstances out of their control, such as a death in the family or sudden financial loss and duress.

But in recent years, the program has seemingly been manipulated by diversity, equity, and inclusion advocates, resulting in even worse educational outcomes. Rather than giving students a second chance to prove themselves, the policy is being abused to unfairly allow failing students to pass on to the next grade level without actually completing learning objectives.

"They're receiving the same credit, but doing significantly less work — often as little as one-third to one-half of what a traditional course requires," he continued. "The evidence supports these concerns: Critics have raised alarms when students complete a semester of work in a matter of weeks or even days. In one egregious example, the NCAA discovered students receiving grades and credits for a semester's worth of work in a matter of days, sometimes hours, and in some cases just minutes."

DiMatteo cited one anecdote of a student who received an A- and a year's worth of credit in biology after only one four-hour recovery class split over two days.

One study from 2020 found that credit recovery policies were being used to help disadvantaged black students but that often they ended up hurting rather than helping the students.

Idiotic woke dumbshits.  When will they stop with the agenda pushing?  It seems like whenever one of their policies fails, all they do is double down on more stupid.

It's like stupidity is procreating more stupidity

There is no end. I suppose if they achieve a People's Socialist Republic of America they might put their foot on the brake.
