    I gave her the standard score because, even though she failed the task, she tried really hard to read out all those difficult words and I thought that was probably more work than anyone else had done.

    That is a tragic indictment on the state of your class. You are failing your students by refusing to give them failing marks for this shit.

      I think she learned the lesson on her own on that one. No need to rub salt on the wound.

      Furthermore, at their level, they already assume that they’re hopeless. I don’t want to reinforce that idea and discourage them from reproaching the subject later on. I’m there to expose them to a subject I love, not be their life coach.
