Papers Continued from Page 7 Teachers said the Denver rul ing has made superintendents and principals think twice about publishing honor rolls, “student of the month” lists or lists of stu dents with perfect attendance because the citations reflect con fidential records. Delegates of the NEA, the nation’s largest teachers union, last week approved filing a brief with the Supreme Court in sup port of the school district. Shannon Fornes, an eighth- grade U.S. history teacher in Bismarck, N.D., said asking stu dents to swap papers is essential for her because she teaches five classes and 130 students a day. “If in some cases there’s going to be immediate feedback, it has to happen in the classroom, and so the kids are either going to have to correct their own work or exchange papers and do some correcting,” she said. Maureen Pontarelli, a sixth- grade teacher in West Green wich, R.I., agreed. “The quicker the reinforce ment, especially if the kid is not mastering the concept, the bet ter it is going to be for remedi ating that,” she said. Pontarelli said teachers battle the perception that those who let children grade each others’ papers go home at night and “watch the soap operas, sit on the couch eating bonbons with their feet up.” As an indication of the com plexity of the issue, most teachers said that, as parents, they see it a bit differently, and do not neces sarily like the idea of students grading each others’ papers. John Marshall, a social stud ies teacher at Mount I lope High School in Bristol, R.I., said he never lets his students correct or even see each other’s papers. “I don’t think it’s right,” he said. “I think it’s my responsibil ity to grade those papers.” Tests and quizzes come back face-down, he said, sparing em barrassment to students who earn low grades. Marshall also lets students decide if they want their work displayed. About the only things on public display most days, he said, f ■ Awe I s i r -I- trc friendly J< troit Tigs young fire to enter t Redding’s tros one c are students’ pertoni debates and discusm Gail Kono, teacher in Waip*>| ““f 1 ** saiii paper-swapping is ■ i'rtct nsy widely accepted ilftfaoM .
