They're easy.

3X5's.

"You suck."

"You don't suck."

Flash them like Olympic scorecards....lol.


Ok, the only time I had to do them, the director sat beside me and said, everybody A or B......yeah whatever.... I was constructive and at least she translated, but other than that, it was a waste of time. (that was at a hakwon)

Hah hah! That's awesome.

BUT~ I gotta handwrite this crap. Sad Not to mention they get checked over by the partner teacher to make sure we're not being honest or repeating ourselves.

I pretty much give all A's and B's, maybe a C or D for the truly damned.

But I write whatever I feel like in the comments section. usually i think of what the parents should really know about their child's education, and possibly how they might nudge the youngster in the right direction. And sometimes, it's payback time. Twisted Evil

Throw in lots of big words that the K-teachers'll have to look up in their dictionaries. Puerile, but fun. Very Happy

Often a bit of praise aimed at marginal students will improve their attitude & effort.

Word. And if a student isn't so hot but really tries, I'll downplay the poor performance. And i have a retarded student is a pretty good student - really tries. i always say nice things about him.

Yeah, if the kid is obviously trying but just not that good, I'm usually pretty generous about his grades. If his reading sucks because he spends all my classes trying to talk to his friends and hide his toys under the table, then he'll get a pretty low grade.

I enjoy writing them for my best and worse studemts.
The best ones will enjoy some of the praise they deserve but rarely hear, and hopefully it keeps em going a bit. Those are the ones who can understand me fully, too.
And writing for the turds lets me practice eloquent ways of telling their mothers that they may as well just flush their hogwan money down the toilet.
