Averaging Grades

Seriously, be smarter.

I think this is seriously worrying for any real teacher, but if she is a vocational instrument teacher, not an educator, then I think its OK.

I wouldn't be too worried if a boxing instructor needed a double check on putting a class grade together either.

i'm not 100% sure what "level" means- but whether OP is kidding or not, there are definitely many people who would be incapable of solving this problem without help (>50% of world population?). while i know that to be true, it is almost hard for me to comprehend.
i think the explanation is something along the lines of: since i am a method X thinker, i have trouble comprehending the existence of method Y (and vice versa).

'method Y' obviously does not prevent people from surviving to adulthood, having kids, and otherwise being successful. there might even be advantages to it (since i don't understand it, i don't know what they would be).

The issue isn't how their lack of basic math logic effects teaching a music course.

How do we possibly expect someone with a university degree who can't take weighted averages to understand a debate centered around something such as economic or monetary policy?
