Lazy, takes points off test grade for not putting name on the back of a paper, I get my good grade dropped. I know the material and 1 single thing that he tells me I don’t have to to do I get marked down, get a D-. He only wants our names on the back because he is too lazy to hand them out. He throws the test on the floor and tells us to find it.

Although she may seem strict, Mrs. Butler is incredibly reasonable, allowing students to hand in late work before the unit tests. The amount of assignments is balanced and fair, assuring those few low grades don’t completely total your average. Overall, Mrs. Butler is a wonderful teacher, and I’m happy to be her student. :)

As a parent I have absolutely loved every teacher my child has had in this district. However, junior year Mrs Held has changed that. I am truly trying to find value in her, but it just isn’t there. She is rude to kids, she decides on day one how they will do (and admitted that to another parent). My child asked for some additional understanding, and her response was just to send the ruberik not actually answering the question. When she went back to her for further detail, Mrs Held responded back “college level”. While this is an honors class and all the kids have been in honors English classes since 7th grade that are in the class nowhere in the course description does it say college level and this is the class that was the option of you didn’t want to take AP but still had to stay in honors because average level wasn’t an option based on prior year course selection. She really needs to go retire and get a job at a community college if that’s what she feels she is capable of.

Actually, I don't totally mind a teacher being picky with grading, as long as they have a sound reason why (i.e. they gave a really simple task, reviewed specifics of the assignment and A-level, B-level, C-level samples during class, or provided office hours for one-on-one feedback throughout the project, etc.) Bottom line: it's acceptable to have a high expectation for your students--but only if you've *already* given them the tools to achieve that standard. However, it's always unfair when a teacher can't explain their own grading. Not only is it unreasonable--in certain instances, it's pretty inconsiderate. Take, for instance, an honors setting. In advanced classes, kids pour truckloads of effort into their assignments to please you--why can't you put some effort into evaluating their work?
Teachers like Mrs. Held are frustrating. It would definitely be unders...
