Sorry for..

One of the things that I have had trouble with thus far in my student teaching is how I grade essays on tests. Being in a small school, I know which students live in a tough situation, and which do not. This leads me to grade those students who do come from a poor background more lenient. This is unfair to higher achieving students with more advantages, because I am grading them harder. If I could do it over again, I would grade just as hard no matter what the situation, because I do not want to give my students a false sense of success either. I want them to achieve above and beyond mine and their own expectations.
