Grade retention

another student’s rubric to my essay. I wanted the nightmare to end. Not only did I not receive an “A” or a “B,” but a “C-.” I earned a seventy percent. My eyes watered, and I began to feel nauseous. I felt as if I failed myself and my family. This grade was not supposed to be possible. In the words of Grendel, it was an accident. But unfortunately, it was not. At that moment, I had to accept, even if I did not want to, that I, for once, did not reach my high goals or had to surrender my unrealistic

Also, at first, on the 3 categories concerning the (Profiling project, Wanted Poster,and the paperrater report), the profiling project gave me an obtainable grade of 80, wanted poster of 10, and paperrater report of another 10, which would all together make a 100. However, now you have changed it to where the P. Project has 90, and the wanted poster 10, making a total of a 100. Out of the 90 i made an 87, and

Grade inflation, the idea that students are receiving grades that they have not worked for and therefore don’t deserve them. But what’s so wrong about grade inflation? When learning about this subject we also open the doors to learning about the multitude of other problems plaguing our educational system that could use our attention much more than grade inflation does. Through grade inflation we’re able to understand problems often forgotten about and looked over.     In the past colleges like Princeton

It was a cold Thursday in Tennessee when Arden returned home from school to see about three suitcases fully packed and sitting by the door. She would soon realize that these three suitcases were the start of her life completely changing. “Mom? Dad?” she said as she looked in the rooms downstairs. “We’re upstairs Arden!” they shouted back. She ran upstairs to find them. “Why are there suitcases packed downstairs?” “Where are we going?” Arden said. She was curious to know. She was hoping her parents

HEY! Are you a teenager, or interested in the subject of stress for teenagers??? Then this is the paper for you! In this paper I, a teenager, talk about the causes and effects of stress for teenagers! Or, at least the causes of stress in my life that others agree with! Though the effects will be generalized. Adults often forget about the stress they felt as teenagers, or don’t understand their stress as times have been changing. For that reason there is often MORE stress in a teen’s life. This paper

One of the ratings is a school with a high number of scores below grade level being labelled as a low performing school. The school then labels the students who score below grade level as low performing. According to Papay, Mumane & Willett “…students receive abundant information about their educational performance, but how this information affects future educational performance-investment

more relaxed for students, but is that always positive? To put it differently, civilians who have the perception that SBG is better are not understanding the reality that traditional grading is a more superior method. First and foremost, letter grades have been used since the 19th century without any complications. “The traditional grading scale is universally recognized. Virtually everyone knows that earning an A is good while earning an F is associated with failure. The traditional grading scale

logic behind forcing students to do graded work is unfathomable, because those grades will only matter for a given amount of time. Schools should more openly consider switching from a traditional grading system to a long-term project grading system. The idea of a long-term assignment is more logical given the fact that stress levels would be lower, creativity would flow, and students could acquire more skills. Adding a grade to every piece of paper is overall a waste of time. Correspondingly, long-term

In school I have always been a relatively successful student, and I was always considered one of the smarter kids by my parents and a lot of the other students. In about sixth grade when they started to split the grade up into certain classes for the “advanced” kids and the kids that weren’t considered advanced. I was in the classes with all the kids that weren’t considered advanced. At the time though, I didn’t realize what they were doing or that I wasn’t actually considered a smart kid by the

away from a learning environment slowed me down a bit, other times I feel as though I have an advantage due to life experience. An online environment has certainly been challenging but throughout the course I have provided solid work and consistent grades commendable of an A grading. My first day opening my D2L course page I was apprehensive yet excited; initially diving into this course I was set aback by how much work there was in such a short time. Not truly understanding that I had signed up for
