Also, can we do away with the tedious "if you disagree with something you're automatically RAAAAAAAAAAAGING" against it nonsense? -- (edited)

Not to mention that that disagreement means you're part of the alt-right, whatever the fuck that means these days.

"You go first." -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 16:22
Here's the thing and why there's frustration with these things. A favorite approach of the right is to take some anecdotal piece of information, some - pmb Aug 8, 16:17 2

  - Yeah, it's all part of the same thing. -- nm - pmb Aug 8, 16:25
I'm more of the Reagen camp than the David camp on this one. But either way. - Mop Aug 8, 16:15 3
- I don't know how my camp is different from his. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 16:55 2
  - David's focusing more on the merits - or lack thereof - of grading and so addressing the substance. - Mop Aug 8, 17:49 1
    - You... might have us mixed up. - Reagen Aug 8, 17:51
Respectfully, no. This sort of story has a specific purpose in right-wing media. - David Aug 8, 16:10 16
- Ok, so, don't express "wrong opinion" unless you want to be accused of being full of rage and an alt-right with all of the negative connotations that - IrishStephen Aug 8, 16:18 15
  - "Alt Right" is the new "Neo Con" -- nm - Strongbad Aug 8, 17:10 1
    - no it's not! they may overlap on a venn diagram but equating them is ...incorrect, IMO -- nm - mud Aug 8, 17:13
  - That's a glib reply to an honest, accurate evaluation of why that story is in play today. - David Aug 8, 16:21 4
    - It's not meant to be glib at all. I see value in good education, I think grades, and stress, and performing under pressure have value. - IrishStephen Aug 8, 16:42 3
      - Well said. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 8, 17:12
      - My point on B2 was that this notion of "it's not preparing them for the real world" doesn't have a lot of support with what goes on in the real world - Reagen Aug 8, 16:54

    - There's no call for these sorts of posts. They lead us all down the wrong path. Let's talk like what we are, which is friends in a good community. -- nm - David Aug 8, 16:22 6
      - Thank you for posting this. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 8, 17:27

        If we lead with anger, we receive angry responses. I'm going to steal a page from my late father here and say... - David Aug 8, 16:30 2

        That's anger? - IrishStephen Aug 8, 16:49

- But then just decided to ignore it when it comes to what you post? - IrishStephen Aug 8, 16:10 1

no, 1) I'm not sure I know what you are talking about; 2) I have an awesome new rage gif -- (pic) - crash davis Aug 8, 16:05 [Attachment]
Only if we do away with the notion that all change is to "coddle snowflakes". -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 16:03 3
- Sure, not all change is coddling. Allowing students to pick their own grades so they don't feel stressed out... -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 8, 16:08 2
  - has a fair amount of pedagogical support. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 16:09 1
