I was in a high school school physics class and jokingly asked the teacher for an a, and they told me that if they gave me an a they had to give everybody an a, is that what I wanted?
I hesitated for a moment and then said yeah of course I want that yes. Give us all A’s.
I was immediately shouted down by every single other student in the class that it wasn’t fair.
And I was like, you guys know that grades are all fake anyway and this is all b******* right?
Here’s how we can get it to work: everyone gets As but also everyone gets a sticker for each correct answer. Stickers are worthless save the value you give them, the student with most stickers wins nothing except being able to say they have the most stickers.
A grade is a representation of the knowledge you have gathered… money isn’t real, George. But you can absolutely judge a person’s sum knowledge. Jesus fucking Christ
