[quote=Anonymous]I remember switching papers and grading my peers in class growing up in FCPS. For some teachers the assignments are formative assessments so they can determine if the students get the content in general. For some students, more grades are better. If they bomb one quiz and only have 7 other grades for the quarter, it will be hard to bring it up. Having more decent grades can help bring up the average. Kids these days are lazy and don’t pay attention in class. And no it’s not because the teachers aren’t interesting—they literally tune out when the teacher is talking and when it’s time to start the work they raise their hand and ask for directions. That have just been given. It’s infuriating. But if the kids don’t think they’ll be graded on something, they really really don’t care.[/quote]
