I was glued on this :
" Blanchard says:
My thinking dates back to my ten-year experience as a college professor when I was periodically in trouble with the faculty.What drove them crazy more than anything was that at the beginning of every course,I often gave my students the final exam.When the faculty found out about that,they asked,"What are you doing?"
I said,"I thought we were supposed to teach these students."The faculty said,"We are but don't give them the final exam ahead of time!."
I said,"Not only will I give them the final exam ahead of time.what do you think I'll do throughout the semester?I'll teach them the answers so that when they get to the final exam,they'll get A's.You see,I think life is all about helping people get As and not force-fitting them into a normal distribution curve."
And the tough lines from Mr.Kong to which i can highly relate..
"There are many teachers and professors who adopt the policy,"I never give grades higher than 85%",thinking that would make them special- because their standards are higher and their expectations are better than everybody else's."
....I remember back then..I've been studying too hardcore and yet i still get the lucky 75.
I don't want to blame the Louisian standard because this molded me as a PRO ,though its really an eyesore on my OTR.
I miss school,the thrill of getting your test paper and of course the pink form.
