Some great things were shared in class yesterday...check some of the highlights below...Trying to work on grades. I have such issue with the ridiculousness of an arbitrary system. Because you participate? Because you complete things? Because you show up? I think the A's are going to those of you who seem to be authentic students. The rest, we'll see. Complaints may be forwarded to POTUS.
Apropos to read this as I struggle with grades.

ReplyDeleteThank you for saying how ridiculous grades are. I couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteI love Kid President so much!
ReplyDeleteI died a little bit watching that lion video, so adorable :)))
ReplyDeleteI loved that article about cheating. When stakes are high, kids panic.
ReplyDeleteLoved SAS!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to MWF tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGood article on cheating, it actually makes sense because most classes rely heavily on tests, approximately 30-50% of the class and it makes students more fucused on getting a good GPA rather than actually learning the material and causes cheating and dishonesty
