Up The Down Staircase

Do away with them, after all we can get along in our social life without marks.

Marks are important because for colleges or jobs they want your average and the average for the subject is made up of marks and the average for the term is made up of the average of the different subjects and the average for all terms is what they want.

E.W. was copying from F.A. in French, also L.M. and L.R. And others!

Guess Who

* * *

Sometimes I do my homework and the teacher doesn't even mark it or I recite in class and it doesn't count, it's a waste of my time. Like when I studied the wrong thing.

A True Pupil

Why can't they scatter exams insted of making us study severall subjects the same night, it makes no sence?

Failing

* * *

I don't think talking out or horsing around should be avaraged in with the marks. A teacher may hate you, after all he's human, Ha-ha! and he might give you a zero in conduct. One zero for talking can pull down the whole average! But it doesn't matter anyhow, everybody gets promoted. Sooner or later!

I wrote the same identical book report for two different English teachers I had last term. One gave me 91 and the other 72 on the same identical paper. Go figure it out!

I think class discussion should be counted and not tests because you can say what you really think and not what they want you to say.

Marks encourage us to cheat though I personally don't.

Honest Abe

You either pass or fail, no two ways about it.

Zero

Best marks go to cheaters and memorizers. Marks depend on memorizing and not on real knowledge. When you cram into your head for a test you may get a high mark but forget it the next day. That's not an education. I suggest just Good and Bad at the end of the term on report cards. Or maybe nothing.

The reason my marks are low is because teachers call on me the one time I'm unprepaired and never all the times I am.

Disgusted

* * *

Exams show more the paper and not the individual.

* * *

Teachers give tests for spite and to get even. Or just to keep the class quiet. (This is the last time I'm writting to answer you!)

* * *

Marks should be based on class work and not on tests when the nerves take over. When talking in class (English) and the teacher listens to me I feel more courage to say it.

I use only 10% or less of what I study. It's a waist.

Cheat is Teach backwards! ! !
