so, in my own classes, i began giving only "A" grades and quite deliberately tried to demonstrate that I was "emancipated" from "enforced stultification." this went over poorly with my bosses, yet I became more outspoken about this and more contemptuous of other methods
then i argued, as in this piece for @MUGGER1955 , that we should stop all grading. but i began to go further: i argued that, if we truly cared, we'd end higher education as we knew it. this can't happen, though many schools *will* soon closehttps://www.splicetoday.com/on-campus/stop-grading-and-testing …
my position then was simple, and it remains the same now: the only useful learning I did occurred during the six years I was home schooled and left entirely to my own devices. if the goal was to make people realize "what one man can do, another can do," that was the way
my journey through the university, then, was like a shedding of skin: i had to return to my roots. e.g., my father discoursing about bluto in drag in a popeye cartoon at 5p.m. on a saturday was more revealing than two decades of gender studies reading/research.
watching 20 minutes of a fight between mismatched competitors (as in this essay for @MUGGER1955 ) was superior than an entire curriculum built around bourdieu or foucault, at least for my own mind, for my thought processeshttps://www.splicetoday.com/sports/the-fights-dan-bobish-vs-igor-vovchanchyn …
