By Wednesday, Ms. Jameson had graded their latest math assessment. She shared that three students had “aced” the test. Missy smiled to herself, assuming she must be one of the top three. So, when Ms. Jameson handed her test back, Missy couldn’t believe the last page was covered in red ink. Since the instructions had directed the students to show their work, Missy had only received half-credit for the correct answers to the last three questions. Instead of a perfect score, Missy was looking at a bright red C circled in the upper right corner of her test. Tears stung her eyes as she held them back and calculated her numeric grade: Eight math questions in total. The first five were worth eight points each, and the last three were worth twenty points each, which gave her a score of 70 out of a possible 100. |
