Day 9 and 10

These were the last two days of exams. I got to do arts and crafts and PE with the students once they finished their exams. While they were taking their exams I would check their other exams, I realized that they got far more in depth with several of their subjects then we do in North Carolina. However, many of them did not score over a 70. I felt that many of the grades were very low. When Ms. Conchita was averaging their grades for their report cards many of them had C’s and D’s which was interesting because if no one in the class had a B average in North Carolina we might think it was a teaching problem. I found out after talking to my teacher that many of the students do not care what they make on their exams because they get whatever they want from their parents. Also some of the students come from a well off family so they think that they will just go into their family’s business. There were many students when I asked if they studied they said no that they did not feel like it. Also when grading the exams I found that one student only answered nine questions, she made an 11 percent on her exam. When she was told her score she did not seemed phased by the grade.
