Middle School Teacher Gives Student ''Minus 20% For Being A Loser'' Grade On Test

A middle school teacher in North Carolina has been writing "Loser" on her students' tests and even going as far as to grade students down for being "losers". This issue was brought up to me by the teacher that I am observing for my research paper. How can someone who believes that calling students "losers" is appropriate go into the teaching field? This news clip introduces the story and shows how much influence a teacher's dispositions, responses, and teaching techniques have on students. To the teacher, the notion of calling students "losers" was not serious nor inappropriate but to many students and parents this issue is very serious.
