Third grade

receive is extra time, subsequently, allowing the student to receive a grade for an assignment that he or she did not complete on the accurate grade level would be a violation of the student’s IEP. The following is a course of action that I propose to rectify the situation that has been created. First and foremost, by February 10th “what has been done has been done.” As the principal, it not only will be hard to go back and change grades that have been recorded but also will be dishonest and…

When coming through the public school system, we often find that students are trying to find ways around actually doing the work, and as teachers (or future teachers in my case) we want to know what drives these students to the point where they can justify academic dishonestly. There are common associations with academic dishonesty students who work part time jobs, students who are only focused on college acceptance, and (at higher levels of education) students who are just simply not prepared.…

Sports are a big part of life, and now they are starting to question if they should be allowed in school. They say sports should be out of school activities and school is about learning not sports. Many say that sports are a big distraction to students because they worry more about sports then they do actual school, they do not realize that sports are a huge part of school. Many students rely heavily on after school sports because it’s what they love to do, sports provide life long memories and…

In this article the author, Erickson, discusses the practice of teachers basing student’s grades off of their averages. The topic of the article explains it all, “How Grading Reform Changed”, this article discusses just that. According to Erickson, he suggests that grading reforms at Minnetonka High School led to a change in the way the school system worked. It fundamentally altered how teachers graded, and how students approached their learning. What automatically catches my attention is the…

Attention Getter: Grades are the most important thing to think about in high school. Your grades heavily predicts your future and what career paths you will be able to go down in the future. However, what if you’re not good at test taking? What if you are instead better at doing classwork, projects, or homework? Well, that is unfortunate for you because of how your grade in Campbell High School is based heavily on your test grades. To say the least, it is unfair and stressful for who would…

I want to show that working hard and getting good grades doesn 't make a goody two-shoes at all. That it shows how willing you are to put in work so can succeed. As for me leaving a good legacy in 9th grade I wasn 't very effective. I was just going through the motions just hoping that I pass all my classes. My legacy that I left last year was I going to do my work but any given…

some were in-class. A few times I had thought it was suppose to be an online class and didnt show up for class. I also failed FOLK-F 111. A good portion of the grade was based on writing essays. I havent always been the stringest writer so i struggled in this area of the class. In high school I had never failed a class before. The grades i recieved for my first year of college…

Alyssa, the Tutor I was sitting in my sixth grade class, eager to see what we would be doing for the day. My teacher, Mrs. Sobus, was passing out papers from the tests we had last week. I had a feeling I did not do so well considering my scores from tests in the past. I anxiously sat in my seat and looked around the big, white classroom covered in shark images. As I looked around, I saw everyone talking to each other and being happy with their grades and there I sat with a devastated face. I…

professors are grading harder or easier so they do not lose their jobs. Grade inflation is becoming a major issue in college it seems. In the articles, Grade Inflation Gone Wild by Stuart Rojstaczer and Doesn’t Anybody Get a C Anymore by Phil Primack speak upon grade inflation and grading in college. Grade inflation is seen as a problem. Grading depends on the…

this software, students often won’t receive any criteria they can base their progress on until they receive their grade. Most importantly, online courses that often feature class sizes over 500 students shows the key benefit that automatic essay grading software provides. The ease of reaching many students at once with an online lecture faces a bottleneck if one teacher is expected to grade the submissions from such a large class. This can be alleviated by adding teacher’s assistants or paid…
