If student erasures were counted against me, I'd flunk. My (early
elementary SPED) students mark all the answers, 3 out of 4, or just
can't make up their minds and erase like mad. Most of their test
booklets are a mess. It's especially maddening to see only one
erasure - from correct to incorrect. Arrrrrgh! Sometimes, I want to
fall on my sword and just get it over with fast.
