This week has been kinda crazy because the teachers have been handing out the final grades for this session of classes. Grades aren't a private thing here. After each test, the teachers read the grades of each student aloud. Overall, the kids do pretty horrible on the tests. They have a 10 point grading scale here and usually the average of the test scores is maybe a 3.5 out of 10. If a student gets a grade above a 4, they usually scream, shout and get all excited. And if they do really bad, it seems like it doesn't matter to them. I still really don't understand the process of moving up to the next class here. Everything is Pass or Fail so normally the students only need a 4 or 5 to move on to the next class. After receiving the final grades, if they don't have a high enough grade to pass, they get to take the test one more time to see if they can pass. The students are getting their grade back this week and it looks like a lot will be taking the test again. A lot of the kids don't work that hard and treat class as a joke. So when they get their bad grades they like to complain about everything. The majority of my day today was spent listening to the students complain about everything to the teachers. They fail to realize that the minimal effort they put forth isn't even enough to get a 4 out of 10. And in return, they blame it all on the teachers. I noticed all of this from the beginning and was wondering how it was going to play out. Most of the time I side with the students, but on this subject I am with the teachers.
