Edit

I am wrong, thank you for the people who pointed out it stops bias grading, I would prefer for her to get a fair grade then it be impacted by bias. Also I text my friend that works for a college and she said that is kinda normal for ID to be the identifier especially large classes. Still think it is weird but the teacher isn’t harming anyone by doing that and give a small taste of college

Principal emailed me back, said he agrees with the teacher and all colleges around our area use this method, it will start being implemented for all AP classes and soon will be changed to increase class size. It’s basically going to function as a college class and soon will change from AP to a full college class the kids can take to get credits early.

I think I was being too sensitive/helicopter and I asked my daughter her thoughts and it was I don’t care. She never did buddy up to her teachers so she really doesn’t care. ——————————————————————————

I went to me met the new teacher that will be teaching AP calculus for the new school year. The school has a day we’re parents can go in and met the teachers. I was curious about this teacher since he is new and is teacher all AP math classes.

He had general class rules list and one of the rule was he will not be learning students names but will go by their school ID number. I went up to ask about it and it is exactly what it said, he will not be learning the kids names and on test they will put their ID numbers. He said it’s simulates larger college since they don’t learn kids name and it gets them ready for higher education.

I think it is awful to reduce kids to their number and a lot of college the professors do learn there names. I sent an email to the principal about the rule and confirming if he knew.

My husband is upset I sent the email and called me a jerk. That’s it s a good think for our daughter to experience. Am I being an asshole with this situation
