Despite the fact that I`ve asked to be removed from the mailing list about 5 times now, I received another email from the Marc Kelly Family Fun Band.
I`m tired of getting these messages. They read like a cult. Here are a few gems:
"Grades are the drug that facilitate the molding of your minds. The syllabus is the doctrine that you have been brainwashed to believe in. Examinations are the filters that select for the most faithful servants.
The institution is ours, and we will fight to regain power."
"Grades hurt the soul. Bad grades cause karmic pain, and good grades tempt sacrilegious sacrifice. We believe education must be built upon nothing else but the virtues of kindness and love. Abolishing grades is the rightful path towards liberation and it will transform education to release the full potential of human creativity.
Paulo Freire is our Saviour. His Pedagogy for Liberation will bring forth the New Revolution and take us towards the Enlightenment."
Creepy, no? It may be crazier than this.
Also, why is the Student Appeals Centre blogging about the need to abolish grades?
