Students overreact.

Students overreact - and it is the teacher's fault.

I asked a young man to take a test today. It was given a week ago on a day he chose not to come. He has been in my class several days since the original test date.

When I was in school, when my children were in school, if you missed a test, it was up to you to schedule the test, usually within a day of being out, on your own time (before or after school).

Young man was unhappy. He wasn't ready. I made him take it anyway.

We have crippled these kids.

In the link above, the teacher rattled a desk to get the student's attention - the student called 911, and the teacher is on paid leave......
