    "If you use a single standard to grade your students’ languaging, you engage in racism,” says Asao Inoue, a prominent Professor of Rhetoric.
    Academics believe him. Education journals publish his ideas.
    U.S. News credits him for professors ditching traditional grading.
    Inoue calls himself a “Marxian.” Few such professors will talk to me. Here is a rare debate about what’s actually being taught in college classrooms.

I am going to have to agree, he does seem like a joke to me as well. US may indeed have no official language, but English is still the most widely used, and therefore, good skills at this language are important. This will go down a very bad route, if we take this kind of stuff seriously. It would get really bad.

Our numbers have fallen quite a bit as it is, but have been severely propped up by Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Nigerian, and many other extremely intelligent and hard working legal immigrants whose children give our overall education levels a boost in terms of worldwide comparison. Actual native white, black and Hispanic populations have been plummeting for decades and show no sign of slowing down.

Of course mathematics, science, and history are also important. Sports is not academic and should not be held to any esteem by schools. That physical education is valuable pales in value in comparison, unfortunately many schools emphasize it over scholastic endeavors. Those schools administrators who place the emphasis on athletics are proving themselves unworthy of managing the schools, and the schools employing them should not be receiving any Federal or State tax dollars, but should be penalizing them instead.

Many of those students are now back in their home countries working in industries that are trying to put U.S. companies out of business. How's that second-rate thing working out for us?

    My EMT instructor did not dumb down our course or give us "labor grading" I got off shift at 2am one night, and got 4 hours of sleep before I made it to class. I was faltering out of consciousness during class and he snapped at me and told me to leave class for the day because we can't have uninformed and unprepared EMTs in the field. Im glad he had no compassion for it. Because I tried my hardest to stay awake despite my job not being very accommodating. I studied my ass off on lessons I didnt fully grasp and ended up near the top of my class because of it and EARNED my liscense the same as every other compotent and STANDARD EMT has. My favorite class I ever took and glad I did it.

Yes, proper handling of English is extremely important, but Math and science are the basis for all technology. Technology is vital to survive in today's environment, whether you want to have a well-paid job or successfully run a business. So a well-rounded education (which you no longer get in most Colleges, let alone High Schools) should be really everyone's goal.

    He's dead wrong on honors classes. I went to a private school that had no honors classes and that had no expanded curriculum for me. I started there in fourth grade and tested into eighth-grade reading and math. The school only went to eighth. I basically sat in those classes for four years tutoring and waiting for the rest of my classmates to catch up. When I switched to a public school in high school, I was able to do honors classes, but was behind where I could have been taking calculus because I'd been held back by my prior school. Instead, I had juniors in the trigonometry/analytic geometry class I was taking as a senior. In the end, no one benefits from any of that.

      His argument is almost that it is the honors students' job to teach low-performing students, not the teachers' job. I'm sure that honors kids would help some other students some of the time if they were all in the same class, but that is hardly reason to abolish honors classes, especially given the benefits of honors classes to good students. Also, you could make the opposite argument, that combining honors students and low-performing students will lead to resentment on the part of both groups, making them both worse off.

Up until the junior year of high school I couldn't pick my math class and I spent that time goofing around with my buddies in class. If anything, I think it was a detriment to their learning having me there. Once I had the opportunity I took trig and precalculus at the same time and stopped distracting others since I had to focus myself.
