[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by the last teacher who says they didn't care about the college the student ended up at. That's a terrible attitude for someone who clearly holds authority over a child's transcript and implications of that to admissions. Look, most parents understand that it's up to the kid to do their best and grades reflect this. However, especially with courses were group projects are involved, teachers should do their part to recognize the ones putting in the time and effort and those that don't. There are so many ways a serious teacher can figure this out so as to be fair to all nvolved[/quote]

DP. Why are you assuming the worst of that teacher? She posted that she will do her best to teach and grade fairly. Frankly, that’s all she can do. She shouldn’t be grading any Ivy-bound student any differently than others, so why does it matter where the student wants to go?

I don’t know why you and others are mixing this up with group work. That teacher said nothing about group work, other than she will do her best to be fair. What else could you possibly ask for?

(As it is, I don’t grade group work. Even if students work together, they get individual grades. Many of us work this way since it’s the best way to record authentic grades.)[/quote]
