I did not! And what a battle that was. I think some of the students protested by handing in late, I even had a student hand in a week after the due date! You cannot imagine all of the excuses the students thought about. But luckily most of them did well in the test, so their bad essay marks scared them into learning for the test.

Great to see, as once that you give in, they will break your spirit. And you handled it well with the bad marks, as that is always a wake up call.

Very true! Hopefully, they learned something from the situation. It is really scary how bad these students' writings are. A strange future is ahead of us!
I also hope that they did! Terrible, I know, but then again it was found that children in grade 4 cannot read with meaning. By the time that they reach 20 years of age, I will be long gone and you guys will sit with the mess !LOLZ

@fermentedphil, I sent you an on behalf of @papilloncharityIt is not nice to sit with this mess, to be honest! Because now we sit with the baked pears (lol) "gebakte pere" as they would say. And linked with that intense sense of entitlement it is dangerous. One meeting went very south and I actually got a little scared; luckily, there was someone else in the office as well. Alas, we can only do so much!
And it's going to get worse in the future, so we don't have any answers to the problems. Maybe meetings should take place virtually.
All that you can do is to try your best.

The approach they are taking at the charity you showed me is heading in the right direction in my opinion. Moreover, I would argue that examination as we know it and teaching as we know it should fundamentally change. The student can also teach the lecturer (in the right framework) and co-examination should be a thing in which students can talk to each other and the lecturer. The framework of strict pedagogy with the lecturer or prof as single authority figure is, in my opinion, an outdated mode of teaching (at least in university). Sorry for the essay!
Exactly right, as the talents of the students are ignored and instead, they are dumbed down into a boxed system. Dual communication is essential, with respect of course, and I so hope that a total change will take place. There are many effective and proven systems across the world, so we don't have to re-invent the wheel. Anything will be better than the one that are forced on us right now.
