Kris Mayes empowers Phoenix teachers to grade their own students based on 'vibes'? Critics say this signals the downfall of merit-based education.
In a move that has set the moralistic corners of the internet ablaze, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is now reportedly backing a new pilot program in Phoenix public schools that allows teachers to replace traditional letter grades with a 'vibes-based' assessment system. Proponents call it 'holistic' and 'emotionally progressive,' but moral critics are howling that this is the final nail in the coffin for academic accountability, hard work, and the very concept of objective truth in our classrooms. 'We are raising a generation incapable of disappointment, and Kris Mayes is handing them the participation trophy of life,' one furious parent activist said. The ethical debate is turning ugly: Is this compassionate innovation or the destruction of societal standards?
