JoeSa says, "yeah I'm a slow typer"
WendyFr says, "got you"
JoeSa says, "Okie Dokie, Second point:He thinks that students are forced into making a good grade by their teachers in some respect"

JoeSa says, "What I was trying to say earlier was that if teachers didnt test their students, then the students would get lazy"
JoeSa says, "or something like that "
WendyFr says, "I think so too because there would be nothing there to push them and I believe that students should be pushed a little"
WendyFr says, "let me get this straight, Goodman thinks that students should not be tested until they want a job or are applying for school?"
JoeSa says, "true, check this out: "...if such a student is intelligent and is not sure of himself, he can be bullied into passing, and this obscures everything (SA 192)."
