I'm in the midst of grading student papers and portfolios, and so
this blog post by Adam Kotsko hit home, particularly the end:
...the only real solution to grade inflation is to decouple college from debt and brutal meritocratic competition. Then people could study what they want to if they show an aptitude for it, and we could afford to do that because we’re the richest society ever in human history and maybe we can get by with fewer baristas so that people can enrich their lives, get in touch with their cultural heritage, and learn useful skills. It would cost money, but there are huge piles of money in corporate coffers and rich people’s bank accounts that are doing nothing but either sitting there or else promoting asset-price bubbles — so we could just take all that money away from them and do something that contributes to something with a recognizably human meaning and purpose. And then our grades would not be inflated and everyone would be happy.
It was always my favorite color.... but then there was that awful RED LETTER Day! I guess there's going to be a lot of homework from now on!

Awe yes the never ending homework. We think once we get out of school and we have our "career," there will be no more studying/homework. . .hmm. . .I wonder where are those four art books I have been studying are?
She is wonderful Ginger! Love the desk!
So cute with that apple. The red just stands out so neat.
Great Illustration! She looks overworked.
Ooops! I'm sorry to know that :(
I guess I won't do it again to my pupils ;)
'F??' Not you Ginger! You get an 'A' for this one :)
i like the movement in your illo. the apple is serving as an inspiration to study---and the books are well drawn.
really nicely done, ooh, that red 'F' stands out! ; )
Haha this is just great! Love all the red touches except for the F! Love this Ginger and we both had school on the brain!
Very cute ginger!
Cute, cute Ginger and all the little pink sticky notes, that would be me, I am famous for them in my journals and daily work! Glad the only homework I have is my "ownwork." :)
I love it! Back to your days as a teacher I bet! You captured the scene so nicely!!
Takes me back to ninth grade algebra. That's one year that I would rather forget. Very nice illustration, Ginger.
The weight of her burden looks almost too much to bear. Not to worry... not the end of the world. Too bad there's so much pressure on kids these days.
But enough of that... that's not what your illo's all about. Wonderful color palette and very nice texture in her sweater vest. And that desk looks just like the desk I had in the seventh grade... but without the carvings from thirty years of kids who sat in it before me.
I think it is the necklace that conveys the action here. She must really be juggling those things.
Fortunately, I didn't see too many 'F's during my time in school. Didn't give too many apples away either ;-)
very creativeeeeee!!
hehe... cute piece! wonderful illustration!
