Mr Crusher put it on screen....

and thats exactly how it was, grades for every student, some failing, some near perfect, but all shown on the smartboard as the numbers were inputted. i was a bit converned about it and when i quietly mentioned it (thinking it was an oversight) was told that this is how everyrthing was done, on screen so everyone can see, that it was a motivation factor.....ummmmmm. Yes i can see that knowing that everyone will know your score would make you want to do better but for the struggling student that is trying but still resting on that 49% mark, i thought that this would cause some confidenciality issues that would cause parents to complain but apparently not, so what is the general opinion about this practice, am i too OLD school in my thinking that most students don't want to share their low score with others or is it that they just dont care and who care who knows...
wow that paragram/sentence would make most grammar teachers twitch...hehehe REVENGE!!

    Okay, now to comment on the issue at hand. As a parent and a teacher, that seems very wrong. VERY. VERY, VERY, VERY.

    For so many reasons. Motivation, SHMOTIVATION. That is humiliation.
