One of my teaching colleagues at the University of Richmond has stopped putting grades on her students’ papers. Should I do the same? urnow.richmond.edu/magazine/ar

@w7voa I dunno. Seems that for years now society has been giving up the most powerful motivator for people to improve: shame.

I favor not only grading papers but posting everyone's grades on the classroom door. It works.

@shuttersparks @w7voa I really hope you're not a teacher, a parent, or a manager. Shame is absolutely not the most powerful motivator for people to improve, and when it comes to learning, it is certainly the very worst thing you can do.
