Am I being a spoiled brat?

Let me preface this by saying that I don't like to worry about grades. Grades are mostly stupid. I would rather just concentrate on the stuff I'm supposed to be learning. Nevertheless, I care about grades. We're made to.

Thank you for that! It makes me feel much better to have the support of someone who isn't forced to suffer this poor organization.

I don't know what other new teachers are like, but I do know that I have been making shit up at an alarming rate while trying to invent proper grading guidelines. I have also been following a not-very-good book because I couldn't invent my own material fast enough to use in class. He might appreciate your comments because he's in the same position.

Or, of course, he isn't at all conscientious and is just taking the easiest route he can find.
