After reading an article in this weeks Sheaf, Radical Profs Refuse To Give Grades, i find myself wondering why more teacher dont fallow so called "Radical Beliefs"
The article is about two Profs, David Noble from York and Denis Rancourt from Uof Ottawa, who are seen by their institutions as shit disturbers. They refuse to give marks in their classes, Noble stated "the reason is simple: all my students are adults". Rancourt had applied to have his course changed to a pass/fail system and was not granted permission. Rancourt then gave all his students an A+ and the Administration is claiming that these marks are given "abitrarely". they are also calling it Academic Fraud. What I find fascinating is that Rancourt has been Suspended and Banned from the Campus after the University did not like his teaching practises.
It is to my knowlege that our legal system and educational system is a system based on precident. If so all we would need is one "Radical Teacher" to stir this pot and shake stuff up a bit. Why are we not looking at these radical ideas and looking into the possibility of new and techniques?
I would say instead of labeling these two Profs as "Shit disturbing Radical Anarchists" we should take a lesson and stop conforming to the will of "The Man" or the Administration.
The System is Broken, Lets fix it.
Fight conformaty, break the mold, think outiside the freakin box already, shit!
P.S. if i go missing its because someone read this article, and they have connections to "The Man"
