As a parent I have absolutely loved every teacher my child has had in this district. However, junior year Mrs Held has changed that. I am truly trying to find value in her, but it just isn’t there. She is rude to kids, she decides on day one how they will do (and admitted that to another parent). My child asked for some additional understanding, and her response was just to send the ruberik not actually answering the question. When she went back to her for further detail, Mrs Held responded back “college level”. While this is an honors class and all the kids have been in honors English classes since 7th grade that are in the class nowhere in the course description does it say college level and this is the class that was the option of you didn’t want to take AP but still had to stay in honors because average level wasn’t an option based on prior year course selection. She really needs to go retire and get a job at a community college if that’s what she feels she is capable of.

Actually, I don't totally mind a teacher being picky with grading, as long as they have a sound reason why (i.e. they gave a really simple task, reviewed specifics of the assignment and A-level, B-level, C-level samples during class, or provided office hours for one-on-one feedback throughout the project, etc.) Bottom line: it's acceptable to have a high expectation for your students--but only if you've *already* given them the tools to achieve that standard. However, it's always unfair when a teacher can't explain their own grading. Not only is it unreasonable--in certain instances, it's pretty inconsiderate. Take, for instance, an honors setting. In advanced classes, kids pour truckloads of effort into their assignments to please you--why can't you put some effort into evaluating their work?

Teachers like Mrs. Held are frustrating. It would definitely be understandable if they wanted kids to succeed in college and therefore gave them really picky feedback, allowing them to eventually reach high standards. (I've had a handful of teachers like that, and they're usually my favorites. :) ) However, a teacher shouldn't expect the students to meet the higher standard right off the bat--especially if, like it sounds Mrs. Held does, they can't even explain what that standard looks like. In truth, it seems like Mrs. Held couldn't explain her OWN grading. That raises a red flag. Now, I get that English grades are all somewhat subjective. However, there's a difference between Mrs. Held's grading and English teachers who don't have a totally foolproof grading method--but at least have a decently reasoned approach behind their thinking. Again, picky feedback does help students grow, so I would actually be okay with her giving students college-level *feedback* on their work. On another note, the unnecessarily picky *grading* really does hurt kids. Whether or not the colleges with purported "holistic admissions" want to admit it, so much of their decisions are still based on grades, especially junior-year grades. Teachers know those facts full well! It's not exactly fair for intelligent, diligent kids to be held to college-level standards grade-wise and therefore have to worry their dream school will reject them. Again, teachers know that full well! Plus, Mrs. Held, if you are truly worried your students will not be prepared for college if you don't grade them like you would a college student...please don't be! These are honors kids; unless they truly don't deserve to be in the class, their work ethic and abilities will be enough to do just fine--or better--in college. And if a student does not deserve to be in the class, please talk to the principal and knock them down to regular English! Please be harsh...when it's fair. Mrs. Held, if you can just save the picky criticisms for the feedback, not the grading and kick out kids who genuinely don't deserve to be in honors--I think your teaching style might be much more valuable to eleventh graders. Though ultimately, if you still feel the need to treat your high school students like college students, let's admit it...you might just not like high school kids. Which doesn't mean you're a bad person! At all!!! I don't really like high school kids myself. In my opinion, they are generally relatively awkward and entitled. Still, please don't make the kids bare the brunt of your attitude if you feel that way. And don't put yourself through a job you don't truly love! You work with kids more than they work with you...so I can't even imagine working a *full-time* job with people you don't like at all. As this reviewer mentioned, you might love teaching at a community college. You might be happier and more beneficial to students there.
