Case: I am fine with my "C"
Mr. Walter has noticed that when he grades papers and returns them to the students they simply accept the grade and refuse his invitation for them to improve their score. "Thank you very much," they'll say, "but I'm fine with my C-". To change this trend, what could Mr. Walter do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Walter should not use the letter grading system anymore in his class. He should insist that all students show mastery of the content before moving on. Students that work hard and show mastery on the first try will be permitted to move on to the next lesson or unit of study. Students who struggle or don't care will be forced to stay on the current topic or lesson until showing mastery. Although this may cause stubborn students to withdraw and refuse to move ahead at first, consistent monitoring, parent contact, and individual guidance will help. Stubborn students will finally realize that they must put forth the effort in order to succeed in Mr. Walter's class. |

| Comments: I feel that by forcing students not to move on will cause more problems for the teacher and the students will get so frustrated they will give up and no longer care what they do in the class or get in the class anymore. I agree though with not using letters for the grades but I think the teacher should use the percentage for the grade. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this solution. This could cause many students to fall behind in class, and it would be difficult to provide instruction when students are at many different points in the lesson. |
