GPA redistribution

What would you think if we initiated a corrective mechanism addressing the GPA disparity amongst students by redistributing GPA from the students with the highest marks to the students having the lowest?

Is it wrong to derive such a system from our current progressive tax policies applied to GPA instead of just income?

 

How does that actually help the students with the lower GPA? Have you not heard of a maxim that claims it only takes money to make more money under any form of Capitalism and not necessarily learning how to fish?

 

Having the same chances to attend secondary schooling and gain admission to programs helps students with lower GPA immensely.

Think about the disparities in success between those w/ a college degree, just a high school degree and no degree at all.

Not graduating high school simply because your grades were too low is career suicide for many in today's world.

 

How does having the same "chance" at school solve for having a chance to get good at schooling?

Why not resort to truer forms of Socialism where those that are the best at schooling can help those in need, based on their ability?

 

Some colleges/professors do exactly that when they grade using a bell curve. Top scorer gets the A someone a point behind gets the A-, someone two points lower gets the B+ and so on regardless of their actual numerical scores.

 

I thought about this for some time as well. The problem with this is that in order for it too work, the students would have to be in charge of the work they recieve, ie set the goals themselves, instead of a teacher dictating what the work is.

 

Why do conservatives predictably fail to understand the basic concepts of wealth redistribution?

WR does not take money from those who earned it and give it to people who did not earn it. The wealth is kept in the hands of the proletarian. The argument in the OP would make sense if GPA was set up like capitalist companies, where a mass of students give their GPA to one student so that the one student has a higher GPA than anyone else.

 

How would higher GPA students help if their high grades are responsible for those w/ lower grades being denied entry to the school/program of their choice?

Grade redistribution is as much about equality as these other 'truer forms of Socialism' of which you speak.

 

Well, actually, that person's A should be redistributed to the F, D and C students so they all have C's and B's.

 

I take it you're opposed to Affirmative Action, then?

Please explain why a medical doctor must redistribute his wealth when he doesn't have a mass of workers giving him their wealth.

All people above certain income ranges pay higher taxes than people at lower income brackets.

What's the difference between redistributing GPA from progressive taxes and means tested government programs?

 

Did you miss this?

Why not resort to truer forms of Socialism where those that are the best at schooling can help those in need, based on their ability?

 

Did you miss my question asking you directly how those unnamed 'truer forms of Socialism' better help those w/ lower GPA than GPA redistribution?

 

There is none. Liberal Marxists hate it when you prove how bad their system sucks. It doesn't work, has never worked and never will work.

 

From what I can glean, and having been subject to this little system myself, the general trend is to push most people into the C's with nobody really getting an F unless they truly objectively deserve an F. Then there is the other scaling system where the top number gets elevated to 100 and whatever was added to it gets added to everybody else's grade across the board. I would prefer they just let the grades be whatever they end up being.

 

Right on! That A student cough-cough 'earned' that A by oppressing his fellow students. Give his A to somebody who got an F and now they both have C's and everything is fair now. Anything else would be racist.

Power to the People, man!

 

Affirmative actions is just reverse racism to stick it to whitey.

You are misunderstanding the point:

A CEO makes money off a operations because its employees are paid less than what they earn for the company. Lets say that they earn $100 an hour for the company, but are paid $10 (before overhead and such), X% of those stolen wages go to the ruling class. I am not saying that everyone should earn the same, as there are different jobs, different tasks, different difficulties, etc. But the principal of redistribution of wealth is not taking from the rick and giving to the poor, but allowing the proletariat to keep what they earn.

 

Or how about a persons 14,048 GPA being redistributed among the those with 0.04 GPAs?

 

It would by enabling from each according to their ability to each according to their need. It may be Termed, synergy.

 

Students w/ lower GPA need a redistribution of GPA, certainly.

 

Students have different IQ's; as a result, students with different IQ studying for the same test for equal amount of time will have different test scores.

How is it fair one student receives the lower grade when both students put the same amount of effort into studying?

 

What about those who don't want to work to their ability?

 

You are completely misunderstand and misapplying the concept of redistribution of wealth.

 

You just don't like it because it destroys your Marxist utopia argument.

It's a perfect analogy of why socialism/communism sucks. It's exactly why those systems don't work, have never worked, and never will work.

 

Re-read the post, and try again.

 

Why bother grading them? The shingle on the wall doesn't tell me the professional had 4.0. It just says he graduated.
