I consider my approach to education relatively progressive but this book has really pushed me to rethink some of my practices. The scholars in this book eloquently  argue how grading is a type of coercive control - and as someone who wants the classroom to be a place of agency and liberation, I feel my eyes opening to ways I’ve perpetuated this dynamic in my own teaching. I don’t think this will be an overnight shift, but I’m motivated to do this work. I read this book as part of a teaching workshop at work, and I’m thankful to be at a university where I can find community in building liberatory teaching practices rather than being isolated for caring. I think this book was a great first step to take, but I do wish it had more examples of practical applications. That’s my only complaint, but maybe I’m asking too much from this book!
