[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter said that most English teachers will grade on how well they like the kid, after reading this she might be right.  [/quote]

No. Sigh. This isn’t true.

Why would I grade in a manner that is going to put MORE work on my plate?

I use a rubric to clearly outline my expectations and I leave plenty of comments to illustrate why the student received the grade. This already takes most of my nights and weekends. Grading in a manner that’s going to bring complaints would take even more time.

And I’m actually rather offended by your daughter’s comment. I’m an adult and a professional. I don’t play silly games. [/quote]

I work extremely hard for my students and I do my job well. It’s completely reasonable for me to defend my profession.

Good teachers are quitting at an alarming rate right now. I’m curious: who benefits from driving more of us out?

You may think it’s just a harmless comment on an anonymous site. To a teacher, it’s just more negativity on top of the negativity we’ve already dealt with today.
