Argument #1
The Court should rule in favor of the Owasso School District. FERPA only applies
to a student's final records. Teachers can use educational techniques like
having students grade each other's assignments or having students solve problems
on the blackboard. These have been used for decades by teachers and the federal
government has no business telling a teacher what methods he or she can or
cannot use.
Argument #2
The Supreme Court should rule in favor of Falvo. Having students know other
students' grades is wrong and a violation of FERPA. Just as a student is not
allowed to ask a teacher what grade another student received, so should they be
unable to know how that other student fared on an in class quiz. The teacher
should collect all the quizzes herself and grade and record them without any
student knowing the score of any other student.
