Truly. I understand that rubrics are used because teachers have
become pussies and can no longer control what they do. You put down
in writing the objectives so not only will the student do exactly what
you want, but you HAVE to grade the project according to the rubric.
"Oh, my hands are tied because the student reached the objectives I
laid out." Brilliant.

I've been to the web-sites.

These types of things happen when people are insecure in their
abilities.

I'd say that fits you perfectly. I'll bet your middle name is Rubric.

No a paddle is a way to move the canoe. It navigates in a strictly
physical manner.

The rubric is more like a set of instructions that says: Stroke on
left side once, right side four times, then repeat. At the third
rock, you will get out of the water and transport the canoe to river
#2, etc.

If you do not accomplish these tasks, the instructor will lower your
grade.

Try this one:

A rubric is the guide used to score performance assessments in a
reliable, fair, and valid manner and is generally composed of
dimensions for judging student performance, a scale for rating
performances on each dimension, and standards of excellence for
specified performance levels.
