Grade

“Did you go to school in your pajamas?”, “How did you make friends?”, “How can you stand having your parents teach you?” These are the questions that plagued the first eighteen years of my life. I don’t like to admit it, but I was homeschooled. Not a modern homeschooler that takes dual-credit or online classes, but an actual homeschooler. What does being homeschooled have to do with my math experiences? The majority, if not all, of my math experience involved my immediate family. Mom, dad, and…

Developing the love I have for English is one that has continuously grown, and will continue to grow throughout my life. English and I started out as close friends when I was young. As a child every night before bed I choose a book off of my shelf and climbed under the covers and my mother read to me. I remember listening to the stories while carefully examining the pictures before she flipped the page. When she went to work I still skimmed the pictures and retold the story the best I could…

Mr. Flumerfelt, As we earlier discussed, a few other students and I have a few small concerns regarding the final exam for the grade 9 enriched science course. There may have been small issues throughout, but most of our concern lies in one question depicting a schematic diagram of a circuit, along with a few general answers, labelled A, B, C, D, and E, and multiple questions afterwards asking which letter (answer) corresponds the best (refer to the "Thinking" page on the test if possible).…

has your teacher ever asked you how you wanted to be graded? I know it's a illogical question but think about it, most teacher don't care and I found a better way that few teacher ever use. The teachers need to grade us based on our knowledge and the things that we have learned threw out the year not what the school expects us to know. I know most people like the traditional ways but I think it's time to give the new way a chance and if they don't work we can go back to the ole ways. The new way…

Grade inflation is receiving a higher grade for an undisclosed reason, for something based on the quantity of work compared to the quality of the work. Grade inflation is an exceptional grade that looks good on paper, but slowly over time takes away and hurts the student in the long run. An example of grade inflation is when teachers grade students based on their effort and/or enthusiasm to learn than the mastery of the content. The U.S. Education system has been trending more in favor of grade…

Third grade reading time was the event that propelled me into reading. Most of my classmates would typically find a book that interested them with ease and quickly find a place to begin reading; whereas I would have an oddly hard time finding a book of interest. So much so that I developed the habit of just grabbing a random book, to give me a guise as a reader. As a kid I just could not get into reading for such a small amount of time, and on top of that the books kept in the teacher library…

ELs learn how to produce and comprehend more challenging texts that eventually lead to a full transition to accessing and understanding grade level curriculum. Throughout the continuum, each PLD is detailed across three modes of communication including Collaborative, Interpretive, and Productive. The Collaborative mode of communication entails the interaction and engagement in dialogue with others. Interpretive communication consists of the analysis and comprehension of both spoken and written…

Grade 11 students always complain about their homeroom location because their homeroom is at one end of the U-shaping AP center. It takes grade 11 students the most time walking from their homeroom to an AP teacher’s classroom. One solution is to open a door that can go to the platform in front of the grade 11 homeroom to let the students go to the other end of the U-shape hallway. It will be very convenient. Students can spend only few second to get to Mr. Mac’s classroom. However, there might…

Why should kids get paid for good grades? In my opinion i don’t think that people should get paid but want to get good grades without having to be paid. Most people think that it is ok to pay kids for grades but they should want to make them to show how smart they are. Some reasons i don’t think we should not get paid for the grades that are made are it could mess up the value in education, they could start loving that cash and not the subject, the kids can start to want more than what they are…
