Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 21 Mar 2024 - Tracking

 

Tracking

A modern form of segregation used by non-progressive educators to group students based on their learning level and testing proficiency.  The Ministry of Truth has determined that all examples of tracking should be eliminated, since it is a form of "spirit murder" that is inflicted upon children of color via unreasonable and inequitable proficiency expectations.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 08 Dec 2023 - Diploma Policy

 

Diploma Policy

All students deserve a graduation diploma.  Don't blame the education system or root causes, since strict graduation requirements produce fundamentally racist results, have inequitable impacts, and outcomes are predicted solely by race, ethnicity, IEP status, and multilingual background.  Ministry of Truth educators need not focus on testing or teaching traditional subject matter, but rather on molding students to be loyal life-long supporters, and to do what they can to disrupt the inequitable results of proficiency testing.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 06 Oct 2023 - No-Zero Grading

 

No-Zero Grading

Prevents teachers from giving students harmful grades below 50%, regardless of the level of effort.  A low mark on a 100-point scale does not accurately measure what a student knows and often results in students giving up.  Other obsolete grading methods include traditional A-F, comparative (curve-based), or standards-based systems.  To achieve equity and fairness, expectations must be altered for disadvantaged students dreaming of entering the high stakes college lottery.
