Lets say someone designs a circuit. Shows it to the teacher and the teacher points out the flaws. The student puts in some more work and comes up with a better design that took care of the flaws. Now the teacher gives the student a more challenging assignment.
Do you consider that grading?
- bonoboTP 5y agoSome kids derive motivation from being better than that other kid. In other words, competitiveness. Except modern education considers competitiveness toxic and is determined to stamp it out.
- ryan93 5y agoLet's consider a kid who half asses it knowing he can use the teachers notes to fix it. lots of people want admission to med school or an engineering job. its incredibly fair to test and evaluate those kids on their own work product.
- cinntaile 5y agoYou didn't answer the question and in your example you assume there is enough information in the teacher's comments to fix the design, this was not stated in my example. The discussion wasn't about fairness either.
