when a teacher fails 2/3 of the class on an assignment, saying that "clearly most of you just didn't understand what was being asked of you" then that is a failing of the teacher, not the students.

(for the record, I happily fell into the third that didn't fail)

a-fucking-men.

Have I mentioned lately that I've missed you? You definitely need to be paying more attention to me, 'specially since you REFUSE to come to my birfday party.

Really, Hamish. It's just a puddle.

When the rest of the class got their last exams back (if you've been reading my LJ at all, you know why I didn't get mine), it turned out that everyone in the class missed 13-17. The logical...LOGICAL, explanations include:

1) the teacher phrased the questions SO poorly as to be incomprehensible to the student body, whose knowledge is HER obligation to empart...

or

B) something was wrong with the key

Now, I, and my close group, were totally fine on this. We've had her for nearly two full semesters now, and know that Becky is, to put it mildly, amazing.

The rest of the class? Out for BLOOD. She was out of the room when they all discovered it, and acted like they were going to skip the "talking to her about it" part, and go straight to the police ( ... )

problem is, most of the class is international students from asia, mostly China, and Chinese have an INCREDIBLY strong taboo against questioning anything the teacher does, so it will simply go unnoticed.

Heh, arbitrary teachers. Almost as bad as arbitrary bosses, but with fewer recourses to industrial action.
