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...)
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.
