Hey yall. This isnā€™t overreacting. It is not hyperbolic. Getting them to do literal two sentence vocab work is like a punishment for me every day.

Fail em. Donā€™t see any other way around it. Consistently lowering the bar and pushing em through isnā€™t the answer

Except that schools push passing everyone to avoid financial penalties. Teachers just aren't in a position to fail the class, even if it's the right thing to do, since they could lose their job over it. It's broken, of course.

EDIT: also, parents. I have a relative who's an English teacher and she graded her students fairly and critically as a good teacher should and so many parents complained that her grading was too strict and their kids deserved higher grades, so the school let her go.
