How should grading work? What’s fair? In this episode we unpack the dilemmas of grading. Why do grading practices vary so much from teacher to teacher, and what does this all mean for students in America’s schools? We also take a look at recent news in education including a teacher being fired for refusing to use a student’s preferred pronouns, the controversy surrounding a new alternative school opening up for young children, and the whopping $9.2 million awarded to a curriculum company for violations to its copyrights.
