I just read about a schoolteacher who got hurt. She was grading papers on a curve!
Your papers are marked when you go to school, but you can't mark the character.
Enjoying life is far superior to being graded on your performance in life.
You cannot get an A if you're afraid of getting an F.
We don't get any marks for effort like in ice-skating.
I've had people accuse me of being too tough of a grader. But my job is to paint reality versus telling people what they want to hear.
I think I am a tough grader, because I feel like it's my job to teach them to write well. I hope my students say I'm a fair teacher.
I didn't know about competition until I got to school. I didn't know how degrading it was to be graded until I got to school.
In eighth grade, I went to home school, but it was a program meant for stay-at-home moms, and both my parents worked, so I had to grade my own papers. I'd be like, 'Ah man, you're close enough, you get 100 percent!'
At Horace Mann High School in affluent Riverdale, New York, one of the top schools in the country, those who receive double time on tests are plentiful enough to qualify as their own segment of the student body. Known to their peers as 2Ts, they participate in the same activities, get the same grades, and attend the same range of colleges.
I always grade myself hard.
Monetary calculation is not the calculation, and certainly not the measurement, of value. Its basis is the comparison of the more important and the less important. It is an ordering according to rank, an act of grading (Cuhel), and not an act of measuring. It was a mistake to search for a measure of the value of goods. In the last analysis, economic calculation does not rest on the measurement of values, but on their arrangement in an order of rank.
I was told that I had to give grades to the students, which I wasn't particularly interested in doing.
