[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept a running tally all semester of how many times I had to tell each student to get off their phone, put headphones away, get off youtube or games, etc. Last week I checked to see which students would fall a percentage point short of the next higher semester grade. Students who had less than 3 strikes, I made sure I found that extra percentage point somewhere in their MP2 grade and bumped them up. Is it fair to the student who barely missed an A but had a phone addiction? Maybe not. Do I care? Nope. Sometimes it pays to follow the rules[/quote] Teacher here. I like this approach. I bumped up a few kids who were on the edge of a higher grade if they actively engaged in class (asked and answered questions consistently, etc.,) and a few who showed strong effort and a genuine interest in learning [/quote]
