You would think that when more than 2/3 of the grade fails a test that the teacher would realize that maybe it wasn't our
fault? That maybe the test was absurdly hard? Or that maybe they're just not a very good teacher.
We had a French test on Thursday. On Friday during Mid-Morning Break I start hearing about grades from the people who've
had the class already. 83. 62. 30. 25. And these are coming from people who normally would have had A's and B's. Even with
test corrections (which allow you to get half of the points you missed back) some people will still be failing. I *gasp* actually
got a 94 on it which is effing amazing, because I seriously suck at French. But still this is absurd. I saw someone with an
11. Yes, an 11. Even if they do the corrections thats still only a 55 (assuming I can do mental math). This test was also
weighted absurdly. People who had high A's now have low B's. Not to mention the people who probably only had B's and C's before...
So given these circumstances, don't you think the teacher should take some of the blame for this? But no. Teachers are always
like "I didn't think this test was very hard. How did you do so badly". God forbid that it might be partly their
fault.
But meh, I'm glad I got my grade, it's something to shove in the French teacher's face. I get the feeling she thinks I'm
stupid since I almost never raise my hand. Heh heh, one of the people who she seems to think is some kind of genius got somewhere
around a 50 I think.
