if i were running a company claiming to be leading the revolution towards a new education system i'd maybe recognize that it's an objectively difficult problem to evaluate anyone's performance under current circumstances instead of dunking on sf sjws or whatever

grading is objectively really really hard. you can break it down to first principles and it's still really fucking hard, and then once you try to scale it it's p much impossible to come up with something that everyone feels is both fair and complete. idk how they'd change it tbh

This was an absolutely terrible call made while the career Superintendent repeatedly told the Board that UC had already told Palo Alto district it would not accept As only. They ignored him.

it’s a complicated problem and i have less of an opinion on the actual decision made by the district, which i don’t entirely agree with, than on the choice made by a supposed leader in education to dunk on “lol so sf” instead of actually discussing the issue at hand

also if i cared about education, and maybe if i were austen and spent 80% of my time criticizing higher education, it’s an interesting chance to open up a discussion about the validity of the (often arbitrary) rules imposed by universities instead of say, taking them for granted
