I thought it would be interesting to get your take on the case being argued before the Supreme Court about students grading papers then announcing the grades aloud for the teacher to record? I remember doing the same thing as far back as elementary school. We passed our papers to the person in front or behind us and graded the papers while the teacher called out the correct answer. Sometimes we would call out the grades, too.
My personal belief is that people SUE too much and over some of the most inane things. I want to sue all the parents who send their kids to school dressed better than their reading ability.

Anywho, I remember the same thing. Since I have been teaching, I have not had my students exchange papers and grade them because I know how scandalous they can be. However, for three years I have had 2 former students be my student helpers who would grade any objective tests and quizzes for me but with this freaking court case, our principal ruled out teacher helpers which BITES!!

Did the Middle Child come up with this topic? Good one, I got to vent
