Do you think that teachers sometimes base your grades on your attitude?

Answer 1

It depends.Most teachers are not bothered about your attitude but we cannot run away from the realization that teachers are like sculptors molding an individual from his raw form to a leader in the society.Therefore, overlooking conduct in grading is like letting loose a wild dog into the larger society.

Answer 2

From personal experience both as a student and as a teacher, the answer is yes and no. In most classes/courses, the marks are made up of actual tested material and class participation. If the attitude displayed by the student is negative, then this may, in fact affect the grade. Attitude toward the course, teacher, classmates, may subconsciously but subtly influence the work the student puts forth, which appears consciously in a lower caliber of work - ergo lower marks. The flip side of the coin is that the same thing can subconsciously affect a teacher's view of the student also, so when it comes to assigning a mark then this subtle influence would come into play. Human beings (including students and teachers) are emotional beings and it's almost impossible to detach oneself 100% from our feelings and be 100% objective at all times. As a former student have I been penalized or rewarded for attitude and behaviour - most likely. As a teacher, have I penalized or rewarded students for their attitude and behaviour - probably.

Answer 3

Absolutely! I know this from experience and from having friends who are teachers. When I was a high school senior I took this political philosophy class. It was fairly difficult and we had an essay about Hobbes which was fairly lengthy. After I graduated, one of my younger friends called me while I was in college and told me that she had this essay due in Political Philosophy and she wanted my help. I just let her copy my essay. She told me that she copied it word for word and submitted the essay. Seeing as she was validictorian of her class and was "expected" to get A's, she received an A++ on this paper and was asked to discuss it in class. I got a B++ on the paper with no comments. This same teacher also once gave me an A on an essay that he obviously didn't read to the end because in the last paragraph I just started discussing how I didn't have enough time to finish the essay but was turning it in, "as-is". He wrote, "Well done" on the front of the essay.

From my friends who are teachers, I've heard a sort of type-casting about their students. Those who sit in the front and aren't disruptive do better and get more "benefit of the doubt" whereas those who are disruptive and don't put forth the "effort" (a term which seems solely to indicate an attitude rather than actual work) do much worse. Also my friend told me that she refused to give students A's because they never meet her standards.

Yes, its unfair. Its life. Teachers are people who have weaknesses like everyone. That whole "an apple a day" motto really has the ring of truth. Butter up your teacher and you'll probably do better.

Answer 4

This is not unique to teachers- it applies to bosses, etc. as well.

Studies have shown that if you suggest to a teacher that student A is actually quite smart but tests poorly, and student B is usually tests normally, then ask them to grade an identical paper from both fake students, student A gets the better grade.

Humans cannot seperate themselves from their emotions- and if they did, it would cause more problems that it is worth.

When your grade is borderline, teachers (or bosses, etc.) will unconsciously boost or drop it a bit based on many factors- what they think your effort was, what your attitude is like, etc.

It happens, it is human, and it is usually not a big difference. Just something to think about and live with!

Answer 5

Yep. Some teachers will bump your final grade up a bit if they know you've tried really hard, and sometimes teachers will not be as lenient with you when they know you didn't put forth a lot of effort. I personally don't bump students' grades for report cards one way or the other, but I know that I'm more lenient sometimes with students who have a first offense goof as opposed to someone who is constantly unreliable (the only way in which they ARE reliable, lol).

It pays to work hard and play nice.

Answer 6

I think a bad attitude comes through on the work product. I don't think the teacher grades you on your attitude, but your attitude influences your decisions in school.

Answer 7

Yes. We are human. We know if you are trying or not. Now, your work has something to do with it, but if you are between grades, your attitude might make the difference between the higher and lower grade.

Answer 8

no longer attending a figure-instructor convention is the guy equivalent of what your stepdaughter is doing: displaying disdain for her practise. you do not factor out the youngster's mom. Is she no longer round? Are you her criminal dad or mum (alongside with the lady's father)? i imagine her criminal dad or mum(s) ought to attend the convention if in any respect available. If mom isn't round and dad won't be able to get off artwork or in spite of to pass, you ought to attend of their position. it really is exceedingly not likely that the instructor made up the grading device. It became probable placed into position by technique of the college's or district's administration. I agree that it really is a stupid device (3=B/A is merely incorrect), yet no longer attending the convention isn't a thanks to pass about displaying your disapproval. contact the college beforehand of time and ask that the crucial or vice crucial be in attendance at your stepdaughter's convention. If it extremely is "no longer available," ask to reschedule the convention for a time it extremely is practicable for all and sundry to attend. i imagine what's more advantageous major the following is your stepdaughter's motivation. you're patently disillusioned with the college's grading device and that i'm certain she realizes that. ought to it really is that her lack of motivation to do properly would properly be stemming out of your glaring disdain for the college? Whoever is to blame of the options for this newborn (her mom, father, you) needs to sit down inclusive of her and communicate recuperating her schoolwork. If it would not take position straight away, punishments will be imposed. Ask her why she's "rushing" through checks. Is it that the artwork is too confusing or that she merely would not care? Crappy grading device or no longer, this newborn needs to step up her recreation and initiate appearing at school. Having her on the convention is a robust theory. She's previous adequate to appreciate the instructor at the same time as she explains what she needs out of her scholars and she (the youngster) should be held responsible for that.
