Objective or not

Exam weeks are officially over, for now. After getting the exams back some students weren't so happy about their results. I don't know was it only because of the disappointment, but they started to think that teachers might be partial. Like if you have been very active, the teacher will pay more attention to your essay than the one who has been passive. Of course activity will be counted in the final grade, but already in the exam grade? I don't think so. It's hard to imagine that the teacher would change his or her approach when reading the name on the paper. I believe that teachers do have favorites, but they don't give them any releases, hopefully. So what's your opinion, are teachers objective, even here in Finland?

You are what you know

I agree with the title because, first of all, knowledge is what separates us from animals. And secondly, people tend to classify us by what we know. So if you don't know anything, people think you're stupid. But if you're smart, people respect your ideas and knowledge. You can also think like this yourself. You can find yourself either stupid or smart or something in between. This can affect your behavior, your motivation at school and your self-confidence. So knowledge affects what you think about yourself and what everybody else thinks.
