      I'm not a teacher and have never been one, but the idea of holistic grading has always struck me as insane...for two reasons * the pragmatic one, discussed here * the intellectual or ideological one: it is conceptually & morally simple to grade "math skill as per test", but >>>https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1339995425034649600 …

      Grading by formula is straightfoward, but it seems fairer and better for the world overall to try to make a deep wholistic judgment. Yet that is harder and feels more stressful, as seems so much easier for biases to drive results. Others may accuse you of bias, even if absent.

      2/ what does it even MEAN to grade someone holistically? Tests and classes are about certain things. Does "kindness" factor into a calculus grade? How would one even know a student's kindness? Finally >>>

          3/ One thing I realized in my late 20s and early 30s when doing projects in the workshop was that I often was highly ineffective when I tried to interleave two or more stages of a project, e.g. designing a shelf + generating a cut list + cutting it each is a distinct activity

          4/ I had great success by "deskilling" my projects: completing each step in a manner that made the next step simple enough that it became just instruction following. [ this is a large part of the input to the homesteading book, btw - me doing this for 7 yrs and saving notes! ]

          5/ So, anyway, I suggest that grading should be deskilled. Test design and teaching should have taken care of most of the hard work, and grading is now a simple exercise in adding numbers (or letting the spreadsheet do it for you!)

          I taught briefly, in a brand new class (ie no pre-existing rubric to work from). I quickly noticed that ad hoc grading systems suck, and that I was biased. Also, by the end of the semester in a small class, I could ID an author by his writing about 85% of the time, even if “anon”

          I think he just means making the numerical grade correspond to "how well do I think this student knows calculus" rather than "how many right answers they got on the test". I think it is a bad idea because it is hard to scale and easy to fool yourself.

          Realistically what it means is that you've been given a class with an absurd ability gap (hooray for inclusion and detracking). You've got a state test with a fixed curricula to teach, so you can't slow it down for the less able, but there's no way in hell they'd honestly pass.

          If you both fail the children literally (by not having sufficiently increased their knowledge) as well as on their report card, people will complain. If you give them a 'holistically' determined passing grade, nobody complains and you don't get in trouble.

          I think it means something about tracing the fundamental interconnectedness of all things to a nice Carribbean resort that you then bill to your employer.
