My friend (See my question about a friend going out with the girl I have been liking) passed a pre-test in my History class. I passed (Of course :P) But when I looked at his paper he had # 10 wrong, but it wasn't marked wrong. It was corrected by a student, and the teacher told us to tell her if there were any correcting mistakes. With that one wrong, he won't pass. Should I tell my teacher?

Let your friend know that he got the question wrong, but not the teacher.  Let your friend decide for himself if he wants to say anything or not.  It's not worth losing a friend over.  Besides, it doesn't hurt you or other classmates if he passes, does it?

Listen guy--a pretest tells the teacher how much you already know--not what we know.  Just take the pretest and then learn about what you don't know....

What do you have to be worried about, it's just a standerdized test.  It doesn't count towards your grade or anything.  I get straight A's in school, but I never worry about tests like that because my grade is not affected by them.

Please tell me you're not passing English!  Instead of "yelling at" your teacher, calmly make a list of your complaints.  Include dates and times if possible.  Have someone you trust proofread it, and then take it to your principal or other administrator.  If they are reasonable complaints, they will have to look into them.  But make sure that you only state the facts, and not things that you have heard or your opinions, because anything you put in writing will be taken very seriously.  Good luck.

If your teacher didn't specify that the quotes have to come from beginning, middle, and end - then it wouldn't matter, just as long as the quotes demonstrate that the love was false.\n\ns

Right now I am working in a pre-school laboratory at my college.  I have a mentor teacher who is supposed to teach me the aspects of teaching and monitor my work.  The worst thing she does is give unclear instructions then gets upset when I don't produce the desired results.\n\nShe asked me to have a description of my agenda for the day  posted on the parent board.  Then she got upset that I didn't have it formatted in a certain way.  How am I supposed to know that: "have a description," translates into "I want it done exactly like this"?  Sorry, I guess I don't speak Mentor Teacher.  I need someone else to translate for me.

Send another email apologizing for the mistake and explain to him that it was not meant to go to him. If your teacher does not bring it up say nothing.... let it stay an unspoken embarrassment. It is not that big of a deal. If he brings it up just stick to your guns and apologize for sending to him by mistake. Don't go overboard with the apology though, the bigger of a deal that you make out of it, the bigger of a deal it will become. If this teacher changes the way he treats you or brings up the mistake on a regular basis be sure and report the situation to the proper administration officials at your school. Good Luck.

Your teacher could get into alot of trouble but your teacher probably looks at things like this if they are going to cheat expect there answers to come out wrong and if it doesnt then they got away with it. Than again every teacher has a booklet they are supposed to write in it about every student every day so if three of your classmates are cheating on test she has to put that in her book. But if you feel as though its becoming a problem with you than i suggest you try and talk with her to ease your mind with whats being done with this case because its not right that these guys pass and you get a failing grade. So ease your mind and ask your teacher whats up with all this and tell your teacher that you dont think its right when you work so hard to pass and other students dont work that hard. GOOD LUCK

This isn't about fair. It's about two different perspectives of what happened. It's about getting through this and getting the best grade you can while keeping your relationship with your teacher intact (you do have to stick with her for a while, right?)\n\nThe best way to handle this, in my opinion, is to ask the teacher which assignments are missing, and ask if there is a way that you can either do an oral re-cap of what you wrote on your assignments, or if you can do them over and turn them in a little late. Or, perhaps she can come up with another solution, especially if you seem intersted in working with her.\n\nDefinately don't try to make this into and "I'm right and you're wrong" situation. And certainly don't cry "not fair." Try to negotiate and find a middle ground where you can both be happy. Not only will this be a happier way around the situation, your teacher might actually be so impressed by your maturity that she'll be really nice and give you the benefit of the doubt! (Don't count on it tho :)\n\nIf you find that talking with your teacher is upsetting for you, ask a friend or family member to role-play with you before you go in and talk to her. I know, it sounds lame, but it really does help. In your role playing, you not only will you get a chance to practice steering the conversation to the positive, but you might also come up with some other ideas on how to work everything out.\nGood luck!

It depends entirely on which test you took.  Some only count right answers, some deduct a set percentage for wrong answers.  It really depends on the test.

I would of went up to the teacher and asked what you got. Maybe the teacher put yours in the wrong pile. Some people that sleep during class or dont study maybe bored in the class thats why they get awesome grades. Some may be just luck lol. I know when i took test i would study hard and be so nervous thinking i would forget something and mess up. Try to relax next time during a test. Dont be so nervous.

No, no! It's nothing personal! I'm glad to hear your answer - I wish he had left it online. (Bilberries are one of my favourite fruits - do they grow better in the shade? All the more for me if so : )\n\nHe might have already heard or found an answer he liked and hoped to save anyone else trouble. Politer to have acknowledged the answers he'd received ... but he might not hav realised this. I have often seen my Q&A listed with zero answers and clicked on the question to find five answers anyway. \n\nHe might have posted it for a bet with his pal or partner and found that he was wrong, instead of proving his point, and zapped it in annoyance. Or to make a point - "I bet you all that this is the one question that nobody can possibly answer." \n\nOr he might have had it as a school assignment, and now that he has an answer, removed it to stop his classmates from searching yahoo for their own homework, so that he looks good.\n\nOr - who knows? Maybe he hasn't gotten many points and hopes that he will retrieve 5 points by taking the question out? I don't 'play for points', so I don't know if that's how the system works. \n\nIt would have been better if he had left it online, I agree with you. \nHe's learning. Aren't we all?

I had a friend once and she lied ALL the time and even copied my homework but were still friends becuase she is like the only person I have as a freind but I learn to deal with it and now she DONT cheat off of me but we do help each other with our homework she still lies a little bit but maybe it may help if you give her WRONG answers one day then maybe she may ask for HELP on her homework and you two do it together instead of her coping you.

Yes the above poster is correct but is also cocky...this is NOT a college test...it is a HIGH SCHOOL test but for some advice...memorize the TYPES of errors they give....doing so made writing my best section on the SAT last time rather than the worst which it was before that.

While I don't know if this is true in private schools, the public and charter schools near me have stopped correcting spelling errors in student's work so as not to hurt their feelings.\n\nIf anything, while spell check is not perfect (I've been known to disagree with it from time to time), the fact that students today have access to an immediate source of correction, should raise the spelling bar not lower it.  \n\nThe school teachers I know claim that many students actually turn in papers using the modified instant messaging language.\n\nSomebody somewhere needs to say, "Enough is enough" and start holding students accountable, for their own good.  \n\nSounds like you'd be a great candidate, go get 'em.

Well, here I go with an oldtime comparison.  Back in the 60's when I was in high school, none of our teachers prepared us for test.  We were expected to read the assignments, study the homework and be expected to know all the material.  I went to a pretty good high school and that's just the way it was.  Now, not having any lectures doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  This teacher seem to be collecting a paycheck and not doing the job required.  Being a retired high school teacher I would advise you to talk to the teacher first and if you don't receive a satisfactory explaination of why she is giving the test under these conditions go the counselor and explain the situation and advise your other classmates to do the same.  I would also let your parents know what is going on and let them call the school and ask to sit in the class for a day to observe this teacher.  I also had an open classroom where parents were allowed to come in and sit anytime they wanted.  This keeps a teacher on his toes, the students on their best behavior and lots of learning to be had.  This teacher is there to disseminate information that is suppose to be important and beneficial for you to learn.  If she is not doing the job she should be told what is expected of her and if she can't do that she should be terminated.  You do have the responsibility though to know what is in the textbook even if your teacher doesn't go over the material.  Since this is high school and not college, you should get some type of guidance or lecture in the classroom.  Maybe she thinks she is preparing you for college though.  Is this an AP or honors class?
