FIAE Chapter 11

This Chapter set me off on such a tangent and a rant it was ridiculous! I feel very strongly about this chapter more specifically changing the 0 to a 60. I know that most people, if not all of them student in block one agree that it should be the way their preparing us.

You didn’t do it and you got a 0 that’s it!

But those who got a 60, yeah its failing but they failed and tried not not those who didn’t do it and got a 0. They don’t deserve it. 

I believe that when you sign up for classes and on the first day you are given the expectations of the teacher and on the syllabus it will say if you don’t do the assignment u get a zero. So they KNOW what to expect!!!

 Well I say they made the choice to go into all AP classes. There was a time senior year that I said no to AP class because I didn’t think I could handle it. I made that choice because I knew my abilities.

I have my night class and practicum and at the end of the night my choice is sleep or hw and I CHOOSE sleep because I chose to go into these classes. AND yes I didn't understand HOW hard it would be but I got myself into this position so I have to deal with it and get through. I feel like those students who do actually care and do the work but just get a poor grade are suffering now.

Yes it might discourage them, but don’t they know the expectations ahead of time?

I would have late points for a week and then it would  be a zero.

Yea it doesn’t show every other time but UGGHH they would have known that ahead of time. They would know the affect it has. Now yea there will be certain exceptions but the general rule would be that they know the expectations from Day one when they walk in and they can choose to do it or not but everything has consequences. In life every action has a consequence, whether good or bad it has a consequence. School should help you with preparing for life as well as giving you the knowledge you need.

I understand that life will have consequences because of the ways I was taught in school. I understand life is hard and that people aren’t going to say oh well you tried, no there are deadlines, etc. and some things you can't turn in late in life. If you don’t pay car payments or mortgage or whatever oh well. If you don’t have money for tolls- its life your EXPCETED to know there are tolls, the guy or girl at the booth wont say oh its ok I know you are having a bad day. They won’t care

But why do we NEED to hold their hands? and I don't emphasize WE because that is the job you sign up for when you want to be a teacher. But why cant students and people just be responsible and understand that’s life. Why? Why do we need to hold their hand? See I feel like that is unfair to the students who just do what is expected because they know it’s expected. They do it because its what is expected- and yet they don’t require us to hold their hand? I understand people are different. But why should the others need more of our help?
