Using "equitable" grading practices that are meant to ensure that deeply at-risk students don't drop out and wind up in jail to assess all students has created a culture of very low and easily exploitable expectations. Feels crazy to say "we need higher standards for kids who aren't poor" but...?

That's it exactly. I'm committing "asshole's A" to memory for future use

Unfortunately I think this is what most upper-middle-class parents want for their children these days regardless of political belief

By their own standards, she got a 100. She read the article, wrote a reaction that isn't a summary, and it's coherent. There's nothing in their rubric about needing to use scientific terminology or needing to discuss both sides of any issue.

That rubric is horrible. How were the TAs not anticipating that if they used that vague a rubric they were leaving the door open to a pile of "my reaction is that this topic is not important because my church says XYZ and my personal experience is I went to church where I learned XYZ" papers?

Cameron is famously a huge asshole. When asked about never seeing his kids he said something like "Anyone can be a good father. There are three people in the world who can make a movie that has a billion-dollar opening weekend and I'm one of them"

At least he's honest!

I have encountered multiple education professors who are completely in the tank for AI and telling their students they have to learn to use it

Personal experience? That's all I need to hear. You've convinced me!

Read the recent letter by the former president of UVa about how he was pushed out. It was engineered by board members who had ties to high-ranking UVa law school alums at the DoJ.

sneaking a pawn-sized queen onto the board is considered unsound in the engine era but still occasionally seen at the club level
