j.j I teach lower elementary so it hasn't felt super necessary but I'm worried they might complain. I think I'll give out some fun reinforcement activities for class points and not for grade credit. Esp. since a lot of my kids don't have much support at home so it doesn't seem fair.
Plus they're in class for 7 hours a day! Let them have a break and a chance to be kids.
My pet theory is that this stems from the cultural rot that demands to see performance “metrics”. If the suits can’t see numbers on a sheet of paper you might as well not have been doing anything.
I haven’t had a single job without some petty tyrant with a Caesar complex fucking things up for the sake of it and demanding that everyone do meaningless shit so they can be quantifiably “doing something”.
