<p>Olleger, I don’t like it when I get the kid who grades the right way and gives me a 70 while the kid that blatantly failed gets his friend to change his answers for him and he gets a 95.</p>
<p>Then there’s no negative reinforcement. idk. I thought grades were supposed to be assessments of how well you understood the material. By getting a 100, for not understanding the material completely doesn’t really seem right to me, but eh w/e.</p>
<p>^ Your thinking on a teacher’s level and not on a high schooler’s level. We just want the grade to get into a good school. Teachers want us to actually LEARN the material. hogwash.</p>
<p>^^ I get what you mean Matt. If you dont have someone else, it kinda sucks.</p>
<p>In the sense the OP is referring to, yes. It’s as if people don’t have minds enough to think for themselves about what is right and what is wrong. They can’t put themselves in the shoes of the writer because of their, may I say it, stupid rigidity.</p>
<p>On the other hand, essays can be honsetly graded and discussed. I don’t have any problem with that, because I always try to be nice and relate with the person. However, I hate it if the person doesn’t have the reason to back up their grade.</p>
<p>What’s peer grading? We haven’t been able to do that since like 6th grade…</p>
<p>“Your thinking on a teacher’s level and not on a high schooler’s level. We just want the grade to get into a good school. Teachers want us to actually LEARN the material. hogwash.”</p>
<p>Ummm…I’m a high schooler and I actually want to learn the material?
Grades ARE there to assess how well we know the material. And if we get a ******** grade, and do manage to get into a good school, what’s going to happen in college?
A rude awakening, that’s what.</p>
<p>^Exactly.</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>Does anyone feel that it’s harder to learn in a non-honors or AP environment because of the people in the class. My one math class is full of distracting idiots who do nothing but stupid **** the whole class. It ****es me off.</p>
<p>^^^ Sorry, didn’t mean to speak in sweeping generalizations, but that’s my opinion. There are points for both sides and I don’t want to start an argument over this, I have it all the time with my mom who is a university professor = p. IMO, I will try harder in college and will want to learn the material more than getting the grade. Honestly I try hard as it is, but certain subjects (such as spanish and US history) I relax, per se.</p>
<p>I know it is a controversial opinion, but IMO the point of High School is to get into college. College, is a different animal alltogether.</p>
<p>^Hahaha, indeed xD
I know I’m going to work ten times harder in college as well.
No arguments on here =P I respect your opinion.
But O:
Having a mother that’s a University professor must be difficult.
I know I’d die. My mom already wants me to have perfect grades and she just does X-Rays and MRI’s xD</p>
<p>^ Oh thats just one side. My dad is a professor at the same university = p.</p>
<p>op - best hsl thread i’ve seen. I hate these people. Most of the time they’re pretentious dumbasses who think they’re too godly to cheat. They should be hit by a bus and then the bus should put it in reverse to make sure they’re dead.</p>
<p>^Amen. They need to get the stick out of their butt.</p>
<p>Jeff from 4th period english…</p>
<p>That B on the peer review for being neurotic (YOU JUST DON’T GET THAT YOUR WORK WASN’T UP TO MY PAR)… my unblemished GPA…</p>
<p>what about haarrvvvaaardddd???</p>
<p>I’m pretty nice on peer-graded assignments. I don’t know anyone who is mean about them.</p>
<p>I mean, if someone puts down 2+2=5 or something, then I don’t have a problem with them marking it wrong.</p>
<p>But if they have to actually ask if they can mark it wrong, then they probably shouldn’t be marking it wrong. They shouldn’t take off more points than they have to.</p>
<p>Examples: Some **** grading my research cards today couldn’t find my source and card number. IE you were supposed to write in a source then card number, but I wrote in a different format. (Source 5, Paragraph 2, Notecard 7). It was actually MORE detailed than it needed to be, but the pretentious ***** actually took off 20% of my total score just for that.</p>
<p>Another time, someone gave me a zero because I wrote the answer instead of re-writing the whole sentence.</p>
<p>If you can remotely understand what it means, just give the person full points. Freaking Nazis. I take note of who they are and make an effort to do the same to them the next time I get their assignments.</p>
<p>LOL, my french class spends 40/50 minutes of class grading a 15 question vocab quiz, it’s sad.</p>
