At the end of each semester, all teachers meet in order to “discuss” the students’ results. Grades, in other words. After opening business, each homeroom teacher reads a summary of his/her students’ results.
All students names are read last name first. I get the feeling I’m in the military.
A model, using English names, would look something like this:
Number of students: 24. Number of students classified: 22. Two students, Jones Samuel and Nab Susan were not classified in mathematics due to [somewhat in-depth explanation]. Three students have been excused from participation in P.E., for medical reasons.
There were twenty students with no failing marks. There were three students with one failing mark. There was one student failing two subjets, and no students with three or more failing marks.
The students with the best results were Baker Joshua, with an average of 4.87; Anderson Tabitha, with an average of 4.68; Jackson Samuel, with an average of 4.66; Cole Brenda and Jones David, both with 4.45.
Grades in Polish are from 5 points, not 4.
Students with failing marks and/or the lowest average: Woolsey Katherine, 2.21, failing Polish and mathematics; Smith John, 2.33, failing mathematics; Kline Gregory, 2.35, failing mathematics; and Williams Derek, 2.44, failing German.
The class average with all obligatory courses is 3.24, and without the optional courses, 3.31.
Behavior grades are as follows: Three students received a grade of “model beahvior”: Baker Joshua, Anderson Tabitha, and Cole Brenda. There are five students with behavior graded “very good.” Fifteen students received a grade of “good.” One student received a mark of “correct,” Williams Derek.
And there you have it. For each of the thirteen classes, all this information was rattled off. Of the thirteen classes, I teach seven of them, but I was required to sit and listen about the six that I don’t teach. Nonsense.
Most amazing is the behavior grade. Each student gets a mark between “model” and “rebuked” (literal translation). All the other possibilities are mentioned above, with the exception of the next-to-worst grade, “inappropriate.” This behavior grade is put on students transcripts, to what ends, who knows?
