"How do we help students find and develop their strengths while also exposing them to things they might not know they are interested in? We must ensure they have basic skills to learn whatever they want and need in the future."
What is the purpose of school, and how do actions align with that vision? buff.ly/4fpQ6ln

Grading is communication.
When we average grades over time, valuing early attempts evenly with later attempts, we communicate that where you start will control how successful you can be later.
I can't think of a worse message for education to give to students.
