Chandler and Russell are back—and this time, they’re tackling the monster under the gradebook: traditional grading systems. Join them as they dive into their most spirited (and slightly chaotic) episode yet, featuring meowing soundboards, flying rubber chickens, and the deep truth behind grading for equity. Chandler celebrates not teaching summer school for once, Russell fixes a toilet and feels more adult than ever, and the duo gets real about what grades actually mean (spoiler: it's not what you think). They break down hot topics like:* Why zeroes wreck everything * What feedback beats every time * Why participation points need to go * The case for rethinking retakes and late work* Student self assessment and grading * And yes… why 50-question tests are just cruel Whether you’re grading with standards, heart, or humor, this episode will challenge your thinking and maybe—just maybe—make you toss that red pen. Bring your allergy meds, because it’s May, you’re a teacher, and you’re tired. Let's do this.
