    My calculus teacher started doing that on my A papers after he noticed that I always flipped them over immediately after seeing the grade.

    • Yeah, definitely the same thing happened in my calculus classes for the same reason!

      But a lot of the teachers in my school just did it for everything. I assume it was a policy they discussed at some point.

    Shit like this is why I could never have become a teacher. I’d be so tempted to just randomly hand out some of the A and B papers like that, too.

    Just to collectively mess with everyone’s minds. Each class would be a new group of test subjects for me to run my cruel, arbitrary experiments on.

      I had A+ papers handed back to me like that so other students wouldn’t get mad at me for wrecking the curve

      They still knew, tho

      This is what my elementary school teachers did with every test. Because your mark is your business alone

        On the “I actually would have been the cool teacher” side of that equation, I can totally see myself administering a modified version of the G.O.A.T. on the first day of every school year.

      In my teaching days (first-year undergrad level), I would always hand back all homework and exams upside down. It’s not my call whether a students’ grade on anything should be visible to their neighbors

    And then there’s that brief moment where you think it won’t be too bad before turning the paper over and seeing the most dreaded words in the English language: “see me after class”.

      Ah, the youthful precursor to the random “Can I see you in my office?” from your boss as an adult.

      They were just prepping us, bro.
