Any advice on revenge?
Looking for Revenge Advice Hey everyone, I could use some thoughts on a situation I’m dealing with. In my country, when you reach ninth grade, you transition to high school, and this year has definitely been a mix of experiences for me.

I need some assistance with Google Classroom. If a student edits their comment on a teacher’s discussion post, can the teacher see when that comment was edited? Is there a timeline showing when it was edited (e.g., “edited on DATE/TIME”) or any kind of notification?
The debate between tests and projects in school is a nuanced one, as both have their own advantages and drawbacks.
Tests can effectively measure a student’s understanding of specific concepts and provide a standardized way to assess knowledge. They encourage students to study and can help identify areas needing improvement. However, they often focus on memorization rather than critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
On the other hand, projects allow students to engage in hands-on learning, fostering creativity, collaboration, and deeper understanding of the material. They can also help students develop practical skills that are relevant in real-world scenarios. However, projects may be more subjective in assessment and can be influenced by factors like group dynamics.
Ultimately, a balanced approach that incorporates both tests and projects might be the best way to ensure a comprehensive education, catering to different learning styles and preparing students for various challenges. What do you think?
