@alexelise000@SultanTeach @CameronAMorales @MkmoTeacher I wish this was true, but I have seen teachers pass students because they tried. The students were not ready for the next class, but the teacher felt bad. Teachers make exceptions, and sometimes not for the best reason. #ci149
@alexelise000@SultanTeach @CameronAMorales @MkmoTeacher I like the idea of growing to an A, but can we pass D students for trying really hard when they did not learn the material? That might be setting them up for failure if their next teacher does not feel the same way. #ci149
@alexelise000 @CameronAMorales @MkmoTeacher I agree, but the teacher has to be willing to elaborate. What is clear to the person who made the rubric may not be as clear to the person reading it #ci149
@alexelise000 @CameronAMorales @MkmoTeacher But Ott mentioned that his grading would be circumstantial. And most grading is. Some should be based on growth, not just output. #ci149
@CameronAMorales @MkmoTeacher I feel like there should be quality elaboration on why they received the grade. As as student who has gotten this feedback, I left confused and annoyed. I should not have to interrogate my teacher to find out why they gave me a grade #ci149
@CameronAMorales @MkmoTeacher If that's the case, then why does the teacher exist? The teacher is supposed to motivate and set up for success. You can say refer to the syllabus, but they are coming to you for help, not so you can say that #ci149
@MkmoTeacher @CameronAMorales I think that is dependent on the student. I have done this, but other students just try until they fail, and then they simply accept defeat and move on. #ci149
A2: If you are grading well and effective, then the letter should be attached with feedback regarding why they got the grade. However, in school currently, feedback is usually given for the chance of a revision. A grade is more final #ci149
@MkmoTeacher@alexelise000 If they cannot effectively demonstrate it, then they probably do not know it very well to begin with. Once Mo invents a tool where we can measure the information intake of a student, we will have to stick with this #ci149
@mirandarferrell@MkmoTeacher@alexelise000 I think some care about the grade, but they do not care about learning. Learning has become to synonymous with getting a good grade, but that is not always the case. #ci149
