A Lesson Learned

by April

In my college English class, I have always been a tough grader. One tiniest mistake made the whole answer wrong. Perfect or nothing.

However, now that I myself am learning another language... I find myself relaxing on my grading. I'd like to think of it as "having a little more grace". Yet, I want to teach my students to strive for excellence.

Isn't that the balance all teachers - all people - face? To reach high and forgive wide.
