This is called grading for equity. It is really hard to do with short attention kids needing instant gratification. The question “is this graded?” being asked for every assignment shows their mindset. If you carefully explain that they will improve the tested skill with the practice, they lose all interest and score poorly on assessment if they even try. The learned need for progress points stymies equitable grading. The majority of students see schooling as a grind for points. They want to earn just enough points to level up without actually retaining skills so they can get back on TikTok.

Sure, but they are knowable. They are not behind the curtain.

Words I have heard in real life is that there are people we aren’t powerful enough or wealthy enough to know about. Having a boogey man keeps the fear and powerlessness strong.

What is your alternative?

Apparently I am the only one who can smell this odor that is on dish sponges. It it harsh as smelling salts and is like burning chemicals of some kind. It is not on fresh sponges and doesn’t always develop on used sponges. I thought it might be a chemical reaction between the soap and synthetic sponge materials. I tried searching for it online but haven’t found an answer yet.
