Grades as a judgement metric is outdated as fuck and no one wants to admit it. The goal should be to learn, not be judged. If you get something wrong, you should be able to correct it until you understand it. Passing a class should be connected to learning the material, not memorizing for a few tests coreectly.

That requires the teacher actually know what they’re talking about. Which would make them extremely qualified, meaning they would have to be paid well. It’s working as intended. School is meant to create robots that clock in on time.

Modern educational practices have been moving toward skill-based metrics, as in "you should be able to achieve this standard" in order to pass a class (and gets scored on a rubric that reflects skills, rather than some arbitrary "minus 0.5 points for spelling"). As always however, what is best for students is often at odds with what's achievable in the way schools are designed and funded in a society.

Trying to get my insurance license, I have learn a shit turn of martial so I can at least get a 70 on a test. That all they care about. On top of that once your license they don't care what your score is. Lady teaching this course said that she knew a lady failed that test 16 times before passing.

But also 15% to 20% of what your tested on and is the hardest to learn is commercial. And 99% of what you learn won't be relevant. My former boss at State Farm said that to me. Says we don't do things the way you will be taught. But couldn't tesch me their way until I was license.
