Well Sorors, as a middle school teacher-- I try to keep their grades in confidence
But they do scream out bad grades to their friends and laugh (ie the young man that currently has a 18 average in my class thinks that it is funny)
When we were in school there was the shame factor-- We were ashamed to have bad grades-- these kids don't care-- I would have never shown anyone or talked about making a 30 on test......
Like C. Powell said "America's greatest lost--is it's loss of shame"
Maybe if they cared a little more about grades then their parents wouldn't be suing over such silly things--- or coming to my classroom ready to fight because their child has 5 zeros...
