[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time.  I'm wondering how to approach the subject with the teacher as I think she's done it this way for a long time. She is not receptive to any idea that is not her own.

I don't think kids should see corrections meant for other students. The point of the teacher's method is the students can see what other students did well and poorly and use that to improve.  In addition to that not being okay with me, it's obvious that there are two favorites.  They always receive 'excellent,' 'best in class,' etc. These two students never receive any constructive criticism, yet the rest of the class is called out every single week.  All answers and comments are visible on the class blog so it's easy for me to see that while these two students have good answers, they also have incomplete sentences, run-on sentences, etc.

My daughter is well-behaved and a good student, and while I value striving for excellence, this 'group viewing' is taking a toll on her confidence.  The other day, her friend said, 'Why do you always get negative comments?' She came home me very upset. I am trying not to make the rest of the year miserable with this teacher, but this is the third time I've had a problem...from teaching a concept incorrectly to 'identifying deficiencies' that were later proven not to exist. I've been polite and respectful, but I've had it![/quote]

Is this an ELA class? If not, the teacher may not be allowed to grade for  incomplete or run on sentences. Even in ELA classes, the choice of which 6 traits of writing to critique can shape how much grammar and sentence structure count for particular assignments. What does the rubric say? [/quote]
