I am a trainee secondary teacher. I have marked some ks3 assessments and had the marks checked and verified with my mentor and their marks are also the same if not slightly better than their last assessment marks so I know I'm on the right track.
I gave them back to two classes and some pupils have tried to challenge me on the feedback I have given even if they have achieved a top mark and I have had to explain to them why I gave them that target and some have still tried to argue back even if they haven't done the target.
Am I being unreasonable or is this not right and rude from the students? Fair enough if they want to ask why they got a certain target but surely they shouldn't be trying to argue back to me when I have marked them correctly and verified with my mentor that my marking is correct?
