[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's math teacher was admonished for giving out too many low grades, and made some of the tests group work to bring the scores up.[/quote]

From DC's experience it sounds like these assignments occur after a very low average on the previous test.[/quote]

In my kid's class, the teacher supposedly picked randomly from the group of 4 papers.  Strong math students (2) had imposed discipline on the weak (2), but they couldn't be sure they showed all the work.  This is pretty ridiculous.  Points higher than typical quiz.[/quote]

If it's random, it punishes the strong student in a group with a weak student who couldn't even be bothered to copy properly. I hate it when teachers pull that stuff. Some students care about their GPAs and are aiming higher than education majors [/quote]

Cool dig at the people you begged to have your students back with because you couldnt handle them on your own. Pathetic. (Also, if you knew anything about grouping, you're supposed to pair weaker students with stronger students. You'd think someone as smug as you might do some research before disparaging others, but intelligence is severely lacking in this county.)[/quote]
