Transcript:
Teacher: Any questions before we begin the pop quiz? Danae: Yes ... Will our quiz score be on the record or kept classified on a need-to-know basis? Teacher: Sigh, why do you ask? Danae: Well ... these are tough economic times ... and since my test score could reflect poorly on your job performance, I'd suggest keeping it on the down-low. Teacher: Duly noted ... now be quiet and start the test. Danae: You have an odd way of expressing gratitude, ma'am.

Danae shouldn’t worrry about scores vs job performance. The Corporate Execs and CEOs sure didn’t!

Both Danae; the ledger will be kept till the end of the year and the grade averaged over all quizzes/assignments/tests, and that result will be recorded in your transcript–but getting the actual transcript will be “confidential”, releasable only to/by the student to whom it pertains, with signature.

Apparently, Danae tries to challenge with her teacher about that subject. Beware of teacher or she will be ended up at Principal’s office. :-o :-) (giggling laughs!)

This series (Danae and the test) is perfect. I keep harping that “metrics” is ruining society and you are creatively showing the same thing in a much more delicious way. Thanks
