Subjective Grading

Many teachers, especially English and Art teachers, are criticized because parents feel that they profile specific students or types of students based on their biases. Because Jose had a smart sister means that Jose will be smart or because Julie has nice handwriting than her essay was a good one. Some art teachers even prefer a specific art piece because it concerns a topic they are interested in instead of because it is skillful artwork.

What do you think teachers and administrators need to do in order to remove biases from classes such as Art and English? Elaborate on your ideas using specific examples or reasoning.
