A lot of people in positions of power are currently obsessed with achieving equality of outcomes (aka equity) and dumbing down to the lowest common denominator is an only working way to achieve that goal for large groups of people.

Are we going to see a transition to a pure pass/fail grading system then?

[tapatio]

That might not be a bad idea. But it still doesn't solve the problem of some people learning/advancing quicker than others.

[goatlover]

Why is that inherently a problem? Some people will always learn/advance quicker than others in just about any are of life for a variety of reasons. The only way to "solve" that problem generally would be some very dystopian form of social control.

[tapatio]

I fully support kids being able to advance as quickly as they can or want to. The current system does not support that.

[avereveard]

In many ways we're already at an always pass system.

[tapatio]

We practice equal opportunity in the USA. They should move to Russia or some other commie country to practice equal outcome.

[pessimizer]

We don't practice equal opportunity in the USA.

[tapatio]

What do we practice then? In this country if you work harder/smarter, you are more successful.
