I wonder what you think about the grading of teachers' colleges.

Subject: Re: Student Grading Question
FERPA allows students to evaluate each other's work. Our own local
policies go well beyond FERPA requirements.
Education records are currently defined as records that are directly
related to a ³student² and maintained by an ³educational agency or
institution²
or by a party acting for the agency or institution.
(Owasso Indep. Sch.
Dist. No. I-011 v. Falvo, 534 U.S. 426 (2002)).
grades on studentsı papers
are not ³maintained² under the definition of ³education records² and,
therefore, would not be covered under FERPA at least until the teacher has
collected and recorded them in the teacherıs grade book, a decision
consistent
with the Departmentıs longstanding position on peer-grading. The Court
rejected
assertions that students were ³parties acting for² an institution when they
scored each otherıs work and that the student papers were, at that stage,
³maintained² within the meaning of FERPA.
