Portland Schools Remove Standards for Equity

In this video I discuss the new grading standards being pushed in Portland Public Schools which would essentially destroy education completely.

This 15-minute video discusses a proposal by the Portland, (Ore.) Public Schools to evaluate students by focusing on “their content knowledge” rather than “behaviors like missing assignments or turning in late work.” Proponents describe this new approach as an “equitable grading system” in which teachers assess their students' work while “considering their diverse background needs.” Among other things, teachers are to be discouraged from giving zeroes to those who fail to turn in their assignments or cheat.

The district is embracing the stereotype that blacks cannot show up on time—which will put students at a disadvantage in the future when they enter the work force, where punctuality is expected.

Public schools are just daycare centers now. Simply getting your kid back at the end of the day without their pants full of poop is all you should expect.

I guess that means that certain groups of kids are less supremier than other groups of kids

Where there is inequality, there can never be equity

Just the implementation of the “bigotry of low expectations.” Of course, it’s racism. If the students can’t (or won’t) meet the expected standards (even when grading on a curve), then the standards are too high and must be lowered until they can.

What happens when their “content knowledge” is similarly dismal?

“discouraged from giving zeroes to those who fail to turn in their assignments or cheat.”

The Democrats “elect” people by cheating—might as well get kids started on the same track...

Can’t wait until those “graduates” are out in the work world, trying to help the rest of us in some way.

Wait, there’s even more. Most public schools are places where pompous ignorant teachers can go on strike to get more pay and get paid during lockdown. Also to practice amateur psychology and totalitarian ideology...all paid for by hard earned anonymous tax dollars. They don’t care, they will be gone, and maybe even dead, when the shtf.

“Among other things, teachers are to be discouraged from giving zeroes to those who fail to turn in their assignments or cheat.”

So, now... teachers in Portland are expected to reward bad or lazy behavior by letting bad students get away with it...

just like the leftists are forcing police to do with certain segments (more equal than others) of society by letting criminals get away with it.

There’s no equality in that, only lawlessness. And that is what they’re pushing for America now. The destruction is well underway by America’s enemy within.... leftist Democrats.

“Portland Schools Remove Standards for Equity”

Not your fault, but a REALLY CRAPPY headline as I read it as saying that as getting rid of “Equity Standards”, which would be a good thing.

When you DO get a job-—MISSING work OR NOT turning in your assigned duties timely will NOT be acceptable to the employer.

Put them on the farm, the dock, or the coal mine. They don’t want to learn so they can work.
