you can’t accommodate everyone. one of the biggest problems with our current education system is exactly that we are doing this and it’s gutting education.

people are going to fail. they need to fail. that is how they learn. some people are smarter, faster, stronger than others, and we need to celebrate that fact rather than pretend it’s an evil to be eliminated.

education is systematically failing because we are trying to squeeze blood from stone. and the expectations on all sides are completely out of whack. but nobody wnats to ‘go back’ to the stuff that worked because it’s considered ‘oppressive’. which was pens, paper, and respect for educators. technology has overwhelmingly been a disaster for education.

my film education had required viewings. as in we once per week we had to go to the cinema and watch the movies and attendance was required. if you didn’t attend the viewing you got marked down. you typically only watched a movie on your own if it was a project you were working on for a paper, because you had to do repeated viewings.
