*please repost or forward* Here’s a sheet where arts orgs can record information about their NEA grant termination. Annie Dorsen is collecting this info as a first step towards coordinating a response docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

That’s cool! I’m not saying grades are a perfect solution because I don’t know that they encourage learning in any way. Just saying that not using them isn’t a blanket solution for all students.

I think that’s true in a lot of situations but ungrading isn’t always great for students who aren’t highly motivated and privileged. If I didn’t do grades half my students wouldn’t show up because their priorities are elsewhere - making money, passing another class, life, etc.

You are throwing away our only leverage. They are already shutting down the government. If the tables were turned they would have no problem shutting down the government to force negotiation.
