[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear teachers, in case you didn't know, students talk amongst themselves. So when the highest grade in an non-honors class is a B- and majority of the class are Cs and Ds, maybe question if there is anything wrong with the way you teach. [/quote]

I'm a teacher and I agree.  If it's honors, OK, they signed up for something demanding.  But if it's not, then there is something wrong if the average grade isn't at least in the low B's, high C's.  [/quote]

If the kids don’t do the work, why should they be given Bs and Cs? [/quote]

Or if they don't learn the material? A teacher can lead a horse to water but can't force them to drink. I teach my students how to study, give them ample opportunities to do so, give plenty of feedback and models, and many just refuse. And I know it's not how I teach because I teach three classes with the exact same material and in two classes everyone has As and Bs and in another everyone has Cs and Ds. Some classes just have different attitudes toward learning. [/quote]
