The FedEx hub is a one-time watershed event. Let's stop living in the past and move into the future. Support the FedEx hub. As Yogi Berra would say, this is deja vu all over again. The educationists have been taking us for a ride for a long time.
Children always learn in school.
Always and every day. When their rare and tiny compositions are 'rated holistically' without regard for separate 'aspects' like spelling, punctuation, capitalization, or even organization, they learn. They learn that mistakes bring no consequences. They learn that their teachers were only pretending in all of those lessons on spelling and punctuation. They learn that there are no rewards for good work, and that they who run the race all win.
