Maybe I'm just getting old....
By Mzip

I see what you are both saying..I also went to school in IL, but a few years before you, jen. However, what frustrates me, I guess, is when teachers give 5-10 question tests/quizzes/assignments and there is no room for 1 error. I try really hard to make sure anything I give has at least 20 questions so my kids don't have to be "perfect" to get an A. Maybe I'm too lenient, or just too old!

I'm not really complaining, my son is a straight A student with a very occassional B. Just more curious to see what others think than anything.

Also, I don't think grading scales and getting more or less than 3/4 of all questions wrong is why our country has gone down hill....But, that's another post, so I won't go there. ;)
