    Thanks to all who answered my question about what a student needs to
    accomplish to be able to get an A.
    I was really happy to read the different comments and they are very
    helpful. I also teach at our University to the future art teachers and look
    forward to share this with them in our discussion about evaluation and
    grading systems.
    I was glad to hear that there are teachers out there who think it is
    possible to get an A if you do your work as asked for and try as hard as
    you can. I also understand what you say MaryB about not everyone being an
    A person, but I donīt understand then how it is a possibility in the
    grading system if you know allready that it is just a possibility for a
    very few. I understand not everyone can get an A, except if they fulfill
    what you expect them to do and put their very best effort into it. But then
    you can also get many students to try harder knowing this I feel,
    especially in our field.
    And how true Wendy about the kids who have all sorts of problems to deal
    with at home that they donīt succeed often in school. But my experience is
    however that art is one field you can often get kids with difficulties to
    become successful if you get to them in the right way, for so often they
    have never experienced success in any shape or form.
    Anyway again thanks. I really liked reading all the responses and I am
    happy you answered.
    Best regards from the land of fire and ice.
    Rosa
