Today, I told my students "Here's how I'm going to grade your tests: I look at it, tell you what to fix, you fix it, and I'll give you an A. We're in a pandemic. Life is stressful as it is, and my goal isn't to stress you out even more."
Students were so grateful to hear this. If you ever have the option to make things less stressful for students, do it.
Just FYI since I'm getting a lot of comments about it: I've been doing revisions since Year 1 and I'm planning on continuing this philosophy after the pandemic is over. I just mentioned the pandemic to emphasize how much more stressful life is now, not as the sole reason for this
And even if I didn't do revisions starting year 1, we shouldn't be putting down teachers who are becoming the teacher they want to be. We're all in a journey in being happy with how we teach.
