The Legel Report

Aaron can’t find his Chemistry notebook and it is driving him mad! He scoured the entire house last evening and is very upset. The last time he remembers seeing it was in Chemistry class last hour last Friday. There is the slight possibility he might have left it there but he is afraid it would have been thrown away. He says the janitors routinely throw things like that away rather than turn them into the lost and found. The thing that is so upsetting to him is that the notebook alone is a significant part of his grade and he is sure the teacher won’t acknowledge that he had it all semester up until now. Typical. Don’t grade the student on what he has learned about the subject but about whether or not he copied the information into a notebook he will throw away at the end of the year anyway. No wonder our education system is so far below the rest of the industrialized nation. All show and no substance. Grade students on what is the absolute easiest for the teacher.
