Yesterday my daughter and a few of her classmates had a minor revolt in her math class. The teacher was only grading kids on showing their work, not on their answers. The kids argued that they would never know until tested if they had mastered the math if they didn't know if they were *right*.

The teacher was quite peeved. He finally decided to only assign *odd* numbered problems so the kids could check their own work for accuracy.

My daughter was fuming. “He's just too lazy to properly grade our homework! It's much easier to just glance at the paper to see if we did it than to dig around to see if we did it right! Very few highschoolers will use the answer key in the back of the book correctly. They'll just cheat and this whole class is going to be lost!”

She's gone to the principal to complain about teachers in the past. (”He's weak! He's completely lost control of the classroom! He needs to enforce DISCIPLINE!” “Her teaching methods are ineffective. She doesn't answer questions and the kids who need help the most are slipping through the cracks!”) The cool part is that the administration actually listens to her and has taken action.

I'm just sitting back, smiling and waiting to see what she does with this one. She's pretty mad.

(See, this is what happens when you give females shoes and teach them to hunt! They get all *uppity*! lol!)
