What makes you think you don’t deserve the grades you’re receiving? I found that nearly everyone earned 90%+ on assignments for our Bachelor of Education program. You could try having a discussion with your professor about expectations for assignments so you can both come to an understanding of what’s expected. Good luck.

I’m currently an education major, and I love your blog! I have a professor who keeps giving me a higher grade than I deserve. I’ll point it out to him, and he just smiles and says “dot worry about it” or “you deserve it.” I have no clue why he keeps doing it, but he does. I’ve spoken with him about my morals and how I consider this cheating on my part. He just told me “you work hard. Relax” and that’s it. I don’t know what to do. I appreciate the help, but I’d like to succeed on my own. ???????

Do you have an opinion on schools mandating what students can and cannot say online? Cyberbullying has been a hot issue since I was in school, and I’m glad there’s so much more attention on it now. On the other hand, I’m hearing of kids being punished simply for criticizing their school on social media. There doesn’t seem to be a clear-cut way to combat cyber-bullying but also allow kids free speech online. And the punishment for a tweet that takes thirty seconds to type can last much longer.
We have a responsibility to teach students to be good citizens in society, as well as good digital citizens. Those kinds of acts can have bigger consequences once that individual turns 18.

Re Refresh: Or if you’re waiting to see if your school will close due to inclement weather (am I right, Bryan-if you’re out there in tumbler-land somewhere?) ;)
RIGHT? Pleeeeeease snow day! Haha
Wait, your schools CLOSE with inclement weather? Ours are always “open for student learning” if it’s still a snow day – snow day just means busses are cancelled, but we still have to come to work “if it is safe to do so” (which is code for, you better get to work otherwise we’ll hold it against you).
