What made them like a student over another? Behavior? Ability? How/why were students they liked rewarded? Teaching is a job, there are tests and many times grading is subjective. The only factors I thought would come into play are. 1. How much the student tried, cared, or showed interest during class 2. The content of the test (answers-objective, writing-subjective) 3. If they were disruptive in class which normally led to 1 and 2 being negative What unjustified reasons would a teacher have to show favoritism to a portion of students excluding rare situations like sexual relations and nepotism? -------- "because instead of the school treating everyone like they were special and going to save the world" How? When I was in school I went from class to class where the teacher would read material, show examples (i.e.) math, or have a class discussion. Do you mean they inflated grades? Then you wouldn't have done poorly in public school as you said. If you mean they verbally told students they were doing good when they weren't why would they do that? Public school students have to take standardized test which are so important for the school that it's a common complaint that teachers only teach the test. If this is the case how does rewarding unworthy students benefit the teacher or school. Why would they do that? ---- Your comment hit a nerve because it is very dense with political talking points. - public school teachers are corrupt (i.e.favoritism ) - public school teachers are bad at their job - public school teachers are too soft and treat kids like snowflakes and this has a negative affect.
