I have pens available on test days. Otherwise answers can be changed after you return the test. It's also usually neater. Most score so lower deduction is meaningless. Generally 40 % OF possible points is passing.

I don't care how well she does math or manages her classes. If the kid's doing the math correctly, it shouldn't make a difference. OK so they'll write in pen on the REGENTS. Someone in the process of learning the material shouldn't be penalized for such petty utter nonsense on a class exam. A reminder should be sufficient!!Ms. Takenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-5391211319556911142009-12-14T19:50:39.614-05:002009-12-14T19:50:39.614-05:00Yes, she clearly deducted points for using a penci...Yes, she clearly deducted points for using a pencil. I don't remember how many, but the word pencil was written next to the point deduction on more than one paper.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-73780060481687840612009-12-14T19:43:16.379-05:002009-12-14T19:43:16.379-05:00I'm confused.

They are supposed to use pen?<br /><br />Sounds like my Computer Science teacher - who opened class by suggesting that all the girls were in the wrong room - because this was a computer class.<br /><br />I was one of 2 girls that stuck out the whole year. I earned a 100 average the 2nd semester. (1st semester the boys go to use the computers 1st and all the girls lost points for late work, when often we got to use the computers after the due date).<br /><br />On my 2nd semester final he <br />1) Made me take the full final that the underclassmen had 3 hours to take, and I had 1 hour because of the senior schedule.<br /><br />2) tried to take off points for flaws in the paper that <b>he gave me.</b> I suggested a visit with the principal and my grade level principal - I quickly got my full credit.kherberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282935413300573346noreply@blogger.com
