What do you consider the grades you give your students if not an "evaluation" of their performance in your class? Alternatively, if you do consider them an evaluation, are you saying your grades are not effective at evaluating them?

I keep coming back to this. What about the student? “Pay for it”, how out of touch is this person? Have you seen what students are paying…I’m so frustrated by the complete lack of accountability our education system is taking for these perspectives.

Ok, but your reputation among employers may go down and that will hurt all of your future students.

Yeah, this is exactly it. Sure, don't take responsibility for evaluations...but ultimately that just hurts the school and the students.

No, it won’t.

Outside of a handful of “elite” schools, I literally could not tell you anything about the quality of most schools.

I care far more that you can actually deliver value.

Interesting, so you might be saying that you think the individual quality at a given school varies a lot more than the difference in average quality from school to school?

Wow...thats just...yep.

I think grades are very much an indication of performance, more generally a valuable part of the student experience and growing as an adult, if you can't be bothered grading...step aside, plenty of other people want your job and are willing to work for it.
