Grading Papers Can a teacher let students grade each others papers?
In Owasso Independent School District No. I-011 v. Falvo, decided February 9, 2002, the United States Supreme Court held that having students grade each other’s papers and call out the grades does not violate FERPA, the federal confidentiality statute. The court did not address whether a grade on an individual assignment is a protected “education record” after it is recorded in the teacher’s grade book.
