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,
