FIAE Chapter 7

I completely agree with Bowdring when he stated “I fear we’re on a grade inflation roll these days. Colleges have to offer more and more redemption classes because high school students are going to college with less and less mastered for their high grades. Teachers have to hold students accountable for the material so those grades mean something.” I see students here at UMF doing this exact thing and I see where it comes from while I am out on the field. It is very frustrating that my mentor teacher does not assign her students homework. I asked her one time if the students knew we were having a test the next day, and she was like “no they will not study anyways.” This shows that she has absolutely no confidence in them studying. It was very frustrating to hear, I want to make sure that I give my students homework, and assignments to complete or it will not benefit them in their future education.
