>>937165883I teach HS. Admin have been cooking the books for years, all to inflate graduation rates. For example, 50% is the lowest score, no matter what, even if nothing is turned in; kids can turn in work late, even the last day of school, with no penalty; kids can retake an exam again and again and again until the get the score they like; exams can’t have essay questions; lectures can’t be longer than 25 minutes; lowest exam and quiz scores are dropped; AP classes have been dropped because they had too many white and Asian kids, etc.
Couple the above with phone addiction and gen z socialization skills, it’s just awful. Imagine a lunchroom with 200 kids in it that’s dead silent as everyone stares at their phones.
This bomb has finally hit college. That IT dude is seeing what I saw just before Covid hit, and during Covid. It’s a fucking wasteland, honestly not worth it anymore but I need the paycheck.
