YOU ARE VERY RAPIDLY BECOMING MY FAVORITE FREEPER!!

So you got 140 papers to grade....here is the scam!

Tell all of your students that you are giving all of them an A. Then tell them that you are only doing this because you want the slackers to improve, and you are offering them an added inducement to improve their performance. Tell them that the A students know who they are...and the B and C students know who they are...and you are giving them all one last chance to prove their worth. I don't know if it will work, but you are too valueable as a FReeper to waste your time as a teacher...:)
BEST REGARDS, ia

OMG, you are too nice, way too nice. :)

To quote Mike Myers, "I'm NOT Worthy!"

anyway, back to grading, I only got three, count 'em, three done today. :)

The sad thing is, I have given these kids (freshman comp ) so many chances to revise, etc... but I'm supposed to make sure that they're all in the B range (what used to be a C, btw!)

Oh, it's okay. :) Hubby can cover for me and I'll just get it all done at the last minute, like always.

Anyway, to me, this (cfr repeal) was pretty important...

GReat idea, anyway...and you're right, A students know who they are, etc...

I don't know. I wish I didn't have to give grades and I wish I could just help them improve their writing. having 70 students per class is silly.

anway, thanks again for your post...

See ya soon! :)
