It’s not the students’ fault.
Not making marks random, and reducing the risks of failure are what gives students more room to really think.
We owe them that.
We need to get rid of compartmentalized grading entirely, and quit blaming the students for responding appropriately to an unreasonable assessment system.
If you always succeed in school, you’re not setting yourself up for success in life.
