 |

The Director told a STUDENT to turn in the grades for himself and the rest of the students. All of the students are good friends so they will discuss/decide their grades. The only stipulation between the Director and the students is that they can't all get A plusses...this hakwon is truly run by teenage students.
The students are in high school and most of them are applying to colleges in the USA. A university admissions office should entirely disregard the students' grades in my opinion.
If these spoiled kids get into a USA university, they will have a rude awakening when Professors ignore their endless whining and complaining. Now why didn't the Director assign the grades? Well, that would cause some students to lose face and the Director would lose more face for causing the students to lose face. By allowing the students to determine their own grades, all of the students can save face...makes good sense.  |

It's a hagwon, so how do they grades even matter. Now if this were a uni class, I'd support the idea ONLY if you told them to fit a grade curve, say 10% A, 40% B, 40% C, and 10% D. Then I'd sell tickets to the ensuing slobberknocker as they fought to the death for those rare As.

If I were their uni teacher, they would get their rude awakening without even leaving the country. Good practice for later on at the foreign uni. I'm teaching a uni scholarship class (read: intensive) for 5 weeks. Monday was the midterm (yes, on Christmas Eve... Merry Christmas!). Out of a class of 12, only 3 bothered to show up, and of the 9 that didn't I got ONE call from a student after I had already left for home begging for another chance because he has a part-time job and he overslept. *shrug* And it's my problem because...? You just lost 30% of your grade due to stupidity. Sorry about your luck. Take it as a lesson in personal responsibility.
Why do you only hear about these "jobs" and "illnesses" after the fact and they need to beg for another chance? "And I suppose you want me to change your attendance score from an F, too?"  |
