Science, geography, etc.
Mrs. Jewls hated having to give her students grades. She thought that it was very boring to grade tests, so she usually did something else at the same time. She’d listen to records, cook dinner, take a shower, or often go bowling while she was grading tests. And many times, when she was in the middle of marking a test paper, something more interesting would come up and she’d leave the test and go do that. On such occasions, she usually forgot to finish up where she had left off.
This was fine until it came time to hand out report cards. Then she always had terrible problems. Her grade book was too soaked and soggy to read, and the tests were either lost or covered with food. It was almost impossible for her to figure out what grade to give to whom. Is it any wonder that she hated grading so much?
