My DS, 13, was recently upset by the way marks for a routine class test were given out. Everybody was made to stand up and the marks were then read out from highest to lowest. Each child was allowed to sit down once their mark had been read out, so the children with the lowest marks were standing until the end.
I wondered what the educational value of this might be and whether this kind of approach is encouraged or discouraged in schools and during teacher training.
Sorry to intrude on your teacher space - I know how hard you all work, but I wanted some perspective from teachers not parents!
