As I said to Rick separately, no need for an apology. I was just
having a little fun. But Stephen and I do find it a little
strange how regulated such things are. Probably a hint of things
to come in Canada (or perhaps they are already here but we just
don't hear about it so much). On the topic, however, I do
remember an older study that posting grades with names produced
better performance than posting them anonymously, presumably
using some kind of code. So it is rather ironic that legislation
precludes teachers from doing something that would actually help
the students to get better grades.
Best wishes
Jim
