No I am saying if you give a student an assignment to draw you one flag and only one flag
What teacher would give an assignment like that, outside of lower elementary?
and they screw it up yes it should be more than a 10% Deduction.
So you're going to punish a 6 year old with a loss of 15% of their grade because they draw it upside down?
Do you really not have any idea how dumb this sounds?
To claim you wouldn’t is asinine.
To claim I would is false. To claim you would is asinine.
You keep trying to make it about more flag than the one they screwed up.
Because we're talking about if this was an assignment and no teacher past the second grade would be likely to give an assignment where you only draw one flag. And just to head off the inevitable "well, she just drew one flag", that Twitter account is a very active account, constantly tweeting and retweeting, etc. So, no, she did not just have one question on her assignment. Furthermore, she even acknowledged her mistake and deleted the tweet.
So what point do you think you're proving taking 15% of her grade for one mistake and a typo amongst the numerous other problems she's working on? How is taking 15% of her grade contributing to her learning something she's already acknowledged and taken steps to address?
That's what I'm getting at...this is just nonsense.
I get it you are a teacher, you come from a family of teachers and will contort yourself into any position to defend this teachers stupid error.
No, I'm telling you my history as a teacher and being from a family of teachers is informing you that your position is ridiculous.
I see your point and if you misspell one word out of a hundred it will have less impact on a grade than if you misspell the only word on a one word test.
Well, there's progress, I suppose.
The saying of you not had one job applies in this case.
Except it doesn't. Hell, the flag isn't even her job. But, for our argument's sake, if we assume it is her job, she's spelling hundreds of words a day...so one misspelled word is not a big deal.
