RE: Throwback Thursdays | My Student Wanted To Sue Me For This Reason

in #education7 years ago

It is a real shame that the people who employ you would not back you, even though they agreed in your grade that you had given. It would not surprise me one bit that the student will or at least thought about suing the school after they completed their studies, claiming that they didn't get a "properly " evaluated education and were passed on even though their work was sub par . The Uni might think twice should that situation ever take place. Our local K -12 school district had that happen. The school district had to pay for the student to attend a private school, plus pay damages that amounted to over $500,000 USD for pain and suffering from the traumatic experience of graduating without being able to read and write above a fourth grade level.

wow ... that's so sad ... can't believe the situation is even worse than it actually is. I guess it's a world renowned problem and not just in Asia. Like @karinzdailygrind said, it's the generation's entitled mindset that needs to go. thanks for shedding light to this matter...@sultnpapper

I am sure that it is like this in many places, just most of the time an out of court settlement keeps people quiet about the out comes.
