Correcting exams is one of the fundamental tasks of a teacher. Not just to grade your studentsbut to guide them with notes and corrections, pointing out what is wrong so that it does not happen next time.
This, in theory. Because in practice and judging by the correction of an exam that has gone viral these days on social networks, these constructive corrections are not always made in a good spirit.
At least that’s what the X user has reported @erprofedelenguawho although he understands that sometimes moments of frustration with the system may arise, has harshly criticized another teacher’s way of correcting.
«This is to take it for immediate inspection. If you are reading me and you make these types of corrections, have it looked at urgently. “This is verbal violence,” he wrote in the initial message, which has accumulated nearly 10k likes.
This text is accompanied by a corrected exam in which you can read phrases in red such as “this is not even in the 2nd year of ESO” or “you have an abnormally low level for being in the 2nd year of high school.”
“It doesn’t give you the right to humiliate a student”
After going viral, the professor explained his criticism: «It has gone viral because there is debate about it, when there should not be. These corrections are the result of frustration with a system that allows let the students follow their course while the demand is reduced, yes, but that does not give you the right to humiliate a student,” he stated.
I keep freaking out. It has gone viral because there is debate about it, when there shouldn’t be. These corrections are the result of a frustration with a system that allows students to continue their course while the demands are reduced, yes, but that does not give you the right to humiliate a student. https://t.co/tKww6eZb2y

The debate on networks is served regarding the tone used by the teacher of the exam in question. Some argue that in a course like the 2nd year of high school, the last of the institute and not obligatorya child almost of age can endure a certain rigidity when receiving corrections from the teacher on duty.
Others, on the contrary, believe that it can be much more effective to make corrections with a little less harshness.
