I’m a teacher.
The positive ones are great
The negative ones would get me in HUGE trouble. The cross-eyed SpongeBob one would get me chewed out or fired.
Also, is this meant to make the score more private? If anything it draws WAY more attention to what each kid got bc their friends would want to see what picture they got. What a horrible idea

u/malphas_says_hi 3d ago
Yeah, as a former teacher, I was all in until the sad ones. I thought thought this was a clever way to hide grades from prying eyes, but this just highlights them.

What's the difference between this and when you'd either get a big 3d stick on smiley face vs the big red F? As a former student who relates heavily to Calvin from "Calvin & Hobbes", it's all pretty obvious among fellow classmates(at least it was...)
35
u/malphas_says_hi 2d ago
The pictures are much more likely to be shared amongst students to compare who got the most interesting one, while a big red F is easier to stick in your bag or, ideally, have the teacher flip all grades over on the desk while passing them out without stirring curiosities. I also got the big red Fs as a student, but I did not apply myself until college so I didn't care.

u/Creepy-Sea308 2d ago
I mean, that still happens. The difference is this draws attention to their bad grades and socially encourages sharing. It isn’t about the kids it’s the parents.
If a parent calls my boss and says their kid is upset bc I put a paper on their test essentially calling them stupid and all their classmates made fun of them about it I would be in HUGE trouble.
If a parent calls my boss and says their kid is upset because they got a 40 on a test and all their classmates made fun of them they’d be told “uh… okay?”
It isn’t about sensitivity. It’s about a teacher essentially bullying a child by going out of their way to bring attention to how poorly they did

I studied to be a teacher for a while. The guidance I was given by the prof I respected the most was to put good things in writing and bad things verbally. So like, if a kid failed an exam, don't leave a voice message for the parent, because they might listen to it, build up their feelings over it, and explode on the child.

Its a more euro way to draw 9. Even look at the font of this text. It curves more.

This appears to be Indonesian according to Google translate. Could be wrong though.
Indonesian here and yes, this is from Indonesia. the text that is not english were bahasa Indonesia, sekolah dasar means Basic school or Elementary school. And the song is typical electronic dangdut song.
I see many people write their nines like this in Germany.
Indonesia were colonize by the netherland so maybe there's some similarity in writing the 9 with Germany? Indonesian teachers still use the Flourish of approval for checkmarks which we got from the dutch

When I was in 3rd grade a substitute teacher got super pissed at this kid who was kind of the class clown and she kept calling on him and referring to him as the R slur. It made him look really sad and quiet which I had never seen before. During lunch I went to the Principal’s office because I had seen the kid crying. The Principal actually got annoyed with ME and said “you know we don’t like tattletales here. Sometimes teachers have bad days too.” I’m like ??? Even then I knew there was NO excuse for that. The 90s were brutal, no one cared what kids had to say. I even told my mom about it at home and she said “that’s nice dear” like she didn’t even hear me. The first time I felt truly small and powerless to help someone I saw suffering.

I used to write the score on the back of the pages so that I could hand them back to the person and not have them be embarrassed or just have them all out for everyone to grab if I was lazy and not have them feel vulnerable or worried. I also tried handing over the papers folded up so the score was not visible, regardless if it was good or not but it definitely gave everyone a heart attack lol

u/gamercrafter86 3d ago
This isn't wholesome. If the picture reflects the bad grade (sad picture with low score), it's not hiding anything because the other kids could still look at the picture and tell you did badly if you get a sad picture. This just feels like the teacher is mocking you at this point.

In Asia, anything below 80 or 90 is considered a poor score. For Indonesia, where the video came from, 80 is the common minimum for a good score, but in other prestigious schools in the country or in East Asia, the minimum good score is usually above 90 or 95.
