The fact of the matter is that some students just don't take tests well. Others will do well on tests but are totally shiftless and lazy when it comes to papers, projects, homework and the like.
A good teacher cuts their student a little slack when they are willing to do extra work in one area to make up for a deficiency in another. Over time, such extra work has the amazing effect of improving that deficiency.
Even if it creates a little extra work for the teacher.
The remainder should be replaced by on-line instructors and computerized testing just as soon as it becomes technologically feasible.
What a douche! This teacher is taking his personal hostilities out on a student. Isn’t part of teaching being able to handle situations where someone is failing? I guess this teacher never failed at anything their entire life. Perfect one, he is.
I’d take that note straight to the Dean/Principal/Attorney’s office. People who fail in class aren’t always slackers in life.
Mike should be a liberal, if he isn’t already. Disgusting.
A slack-off who doesn’t do his assignments all year and asks which things will be on the test (so he won’t have to read it all) and then asks for “extra credit” at the end of the year.
Does need to have a little more slack cut to him
Sure because it is easy to learn vocational skills from a computer.
Yeah and I want my emergency surgery done by the doctor that read about it rather and scrubbed in and got to assist another doctor.
