It was only a six-weeks grade, thankfully, but it still pissed me off that she didn't just take, say, ten points off for the mistake in general.
you never did it again, did you? In my experience, when you let students slide, they don't take the rules seriously, and it can take getting the smackdown to make them get their shit together.
This whole educational-style-and-goal discussion is just pissing me off.
I'm going to take a break from Natter - probably all of b.org - except for the BSG game for a while, because right now I just want to slap you all really, really hard.

That makes me think of my high school AP Calc class. The first test was a killer and most of the class got an 'F' even though everyone in there pretty much sailed through every math class they had ever taken. I think the teacher used it as a message of "Yeah, this is how this class is going to be. Nobody will be skating through."
Err... it was Polter-Cow's post that made me think of it.

I think I was particularly upset because there was some issue with the handout she had given to us with the grammar rules, like it was a bad copy so I couldn't tell that there was supposed to be a period at the end.

SH, we are a place that encourages discussion and dissent, but statements like this are rude and not how we roll.

It was my Commentary! The Musical post that probably did it.

No, it was because I insulted microwaved chicken.

I don't know what a kprinkle is. Is it like a cute little kerfuffle you put on bitchcakes?
