After sharing my daughter's experiences of student teaching, I had the nerve to decide to earn some extra money by involving myself for a second time in school matters. You think I'd learn, but no I didn't.
For the next eight weeks I will be one of the team members grading standardized testing from several states. We had our first day of training and was told that our opinions about grading didn't matter. Our interpretations of the student's answer didn't matter. The only thing that matters is the grading rubric that's presented to us.
Well think high schoolers don't listen? Neither do adults! We had adults arguing with the trainer about whether or not the rubric was correct or whether or not those responsible for creating the rubric were correct. I couldn't believe my ears. We were told just a few hours earlier that our opinions didn't matter. Well needless to say the trainees were reminded in not too nice a tone what we were told earlier.
Why don't we listen or are we just forgetting information so quickly that it appears that we haven't listened? My opinion is that people like those think they know it all and are full of themselves. They're show-offs.
