CARBONDALE, Colo. — The new school year will offer students something new this year and it should be interesting.
Colorado Mountain College students will be allowed to pick their own final grades.
The idea was instigated in Carbondale, while a group of teachers were celebrating Mountain Fair in the park.
“If they pick their own grades, we don’t have to grade their damn papers,” one teacher slurred.
Proponents of having students picking their own grades say it can help students focus on learning more than on grades and therefore m make more progress in their learning with less activity.
So, like what student isn’t going to give themselves straight A’s?
I got straight A’s in school but I’m still dumb as a rock…
However, CMC officials say the students must sign a contract saying what they will do to earn the grade they chose.
“At the end of the semester, if the student completed the specific work they said they would, at the satisfactory level, they receive the grade they planned to receive,” an email notice stated.
What if you chose an “F”?
