Making grades meaningless so that everyone advances is doing a disservice to kids' education. (media.piefed.world)

Actual conversation I had with an admin after I graded ab exam with 70/100 after a student made 2 big and 2 small mistakes on an exam

You have to grade her exam 100

But she made a bunch of mistakes

She wants the grading 100 or she'll leave

But then what is the point of grading?

The grading doesn't matter, of they pay, they get each grade 100/100

So they're paying for fake grades?

Yes, this is all of paid "education".

Private school I guess? I don't understand the "or she'll leave" if not.

Education under capitalism is not actually education.

It's a country club for the rich and a prison for the poor.
