You've Met Minimum Requirements!
I've been looking for a new teaching job and Minneapolis sends these emails that say "Congratulations, you've met the minimum requirements for .....position...... you may or may not be contacted....thanks for your interest." Hmmm... Reminds me of traditional grading and the meaningless track we have put our kids on....How often do our students "meet minimum requirements" and does this mean anything?
