Hello; I know this likely is not the answer but it is what I think sometimes. A decade or so before retiring from teaching the "experts" pretty much forced us teachers into a new way of interacting with students.
I can only speak of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina from actual experience, with the majority of my comments being from experience in Kentucky. I will not go the long story but will attempt to summarize. First is student "self esteem" took top place and second any way a student decided to do a task was supposed to be OK.
The self esteem bit basically means no negative comments about student performance. A teacher was not to mention what was done wrong but to find some positive aspect of student work. For example spelling and sentence structure were not graded. In written work even if 90% was junk we were to only comment in a positive way on the 10% done correctly.
Kinda sounds alright in theory.
In practice we now have a population that passed thru public schools thinking that pretty much any way they wish to do something is acceptable. My guess is that some younger members of this forum see the world that way. They want to run a tank a way that has problems but have been told any way they wish to do things is OK for years.
That's enough of my stuff.
