I am starting to get really busy at work again. It will probably be like this for the next few weeks. We have a big deadline coming up and I want to get my part of the work complete so I can be sure to be free for spring break. With so many hours to work, I did not have time to correct Kelly’s and Christian’s math last night. Lorena did it for me. Kelly and Christian were horrified when they saw that Lorena had marked just about everything they did wrong. It turns out that, in the schools in Lorena’s part of Mexico, correct answers are marked with a check, while incorrect answers are marked with an ‘X‘. That is just WRONG! Everyone knows the correct way to mark a paper is to us a ‘C‘ for problems worked correctly. The check is reserved for those problems with incorrect answers. There is mass rebellion occurring in the household, but Lorena says she is not about to change. If she is going to correct papers she is going to do it her way. She says her way is the right way. If we do not like it we can correct the papers ourselves.
