Computing grades is one of the loneliest but most important duties of Teachers.

Many have been said about teaching. It is a mission; it is a vocation. We rarely focus on the presumed consequence that it is also earning one's livelihood. This is a nice observation because for us who have been teaching for more than 30 years are still wondering why we have stayed on if it is only for salary's sake. The more accepted one is that teaching is both a mission and a vocation. It is a mission because we have been sent for this specific function to "lift up" the minds of the young and other learners. It is a vocation because we are called and we have responded positively to this calling to live most of the years of our lives with the privileged position to develop the minds of every learner.
Then comes grades. Here we are in fact in this very important duty which at the very moment we call the loneliest instance. This is being said not in the context of being sad but precisely because in the process of computing grades many factors have to be considered and only the teacher has the ultimate responsibility to compute it and give it justly. So here comes the teacher and indeed all senses are set to finish the task. Wish this teacher well!
