Ignore the bitch arse responses claiming you should be patting this kid on the arse to make sure they do what they are supposed to. Your job is to teach the material in a way that is conducive to learning the material. If a student doesn't understand the material, then sure, either help that student or tell them how they can go about finding the correct answers or methods that may best suit them. It's not to be fricking Mr Carter and babysitting kids who don't come to class and making sure they don't jump off the roof. A student, ESPECIALLY a senior, should damn well know that when they aren't in class, they need to find out what material was covered that day, and if they don't understand it, come to you with questions. Not wait two weeks, take the test, and then not answer the questions about that section when they were absent because they were too damn lazy to even ask what was covered. frick em, and the bitches on here claiming it is your job to chase this kid down and tell them what you did that day, or sacrifice the progress of other students by having to recover that section another day during class to make sure the absent student learnt it gud.




Yup. I like the part about especially being a senior. If this kid doesn't start taking responsibility now, next year in college will be hell for him or if no college, the working world will chew him up quick. Self reliance and responsibility are the two biggest factors I see the general public being deficient in and it wreaks havoc on society in multiple ways.

You should care that you haven't made it clear that students should be comfortable coming to your office hours to cover anything they may have missed in class because they were out sick.

Just give him partial credit and give him some applications hardware stores or something for after highschool since he only made it to pre-algebra by his senior year....won't be needing to persue college. Besides we need people that can do basic math in our lumber yard and such. Hell, might even make management one day having taken some senior level classes like that.

Edit: NVM, he can't do basic math. Trashman then?

Maybe chill out a bit.

It's senior year of HS. Maybe this kid just doesn't GAF anymore and is skating by till college. He/she simply didn't know the answers to the section and didn't care to learn the material that he missed, so that's what they wrote down and moved on.

Am I suppose to care?!?!

Does this kid think I just won't grade this section of their exam?!?!

I had a student write something similar on the top of their test, I replied with "you're SOL"

You are the a-hole you should have tutored the kid once you realized his missed this class to catch him back up. Fail on your part as a teacher pure and simple. Probably a Orleans Parish public school teacher.

How long of you been a teacher? You know a student who misses class is responsible for what they missed. But If your intentions are teaching, you could give him an opportunity to make up the 6 questions on a curve. My guess is he would decline the offer.

To be fair this section he's complaining about requires division skills only.

I believe you learn that in the 3rd grade.

So it's his/her sol, implying ownership of the sol? Was that some trickery and an extra jab on an English test related to correct usages of words, or are you just not an English teacher? You used their correctly, so I'm just making the assumption you really got him/her good with that "your sol" instead of "you're sol"

I assume there are a lot of trolls in this thread.

If some of y'all actually think that the teacher needs to harass their students who missed class until they come learn the material and it's not the students responsibility to seek out the teacher during office hours, then you are the reason why your kid is lazy and not self motivated, etc.

Edit, i think it is 288 actually


Wouldn't x be actually three values?

X = 0 ; for 2x

And then you complete the square on that sexy second degree polynomial to find the other two values.

Draw a little sad smiley face with a tear coming down it's eye with an arm holding a pencil that is drawing a red X.

It also could be the student wanting to put something/some explaination for the zero credit answer rather than not giving a slightest frick and just leaving it blank.


This.

OP, how many questions on the test? if it's few enough that six questions will fail him and you didn't cover that subject for more than one day then there's no way that you have taken the time to make sure that your students understand it, and yes, that makes you an a-hole.
