Re: Posting Student Scores in the Hallway

More | Report Post

Dreadful! I think you would be setting students up for
conflict. Depending on the climate of the school, either the
high scores or the low scores or both could lead to problems.

If the goal is to enable students to see how they compare with
other, you could post graphs showing how many students scored
at various levels--but not with the names of individual
students.

And yes, I do think that privacy rights would be violated.
