I believe I already said I am not a true supporter of written tests; at least as a major factor while "grading" (does that verb exists? If it doesn't, I've just created a new one).
The thing is, it kind of feels good to look at the up right corner of the sheet and see a good mark! It seems that all the time spent studying for it, even doing it, paid of!
Just like the exams. Ours are aproaching, nearer and nearer everyday.
Truth is, exams are necessary, country wide! That is the only time when students are in an equal situation, but does that mean that we can not have bad moments?
Everything seems to be too relative, too uncertain, but even our future seems relative and uncertain and we are fighting for a future!
I was surprised to hear that some teachers are supposed to be in a room during the exam, all by themselves, staring at yesterday, in case of a student having a doubt. Then they have to call to the ministry, se what they say, and then take the student's doubt. There can not be even a book in the room to spend the time, not even a magazine! Only because the Ministry isso afraid that the teacher could give some sort of help to the students who, by the way, are also closed in a room wih two freaking teachers! How could we be helped? And - this one rocks - if a teacher has a child in that school, he's not allowed to be even near the facilities!
Get a grip! So many fears... for what? What are the odds of a teacher sending a message to a student with the answers to question 1.3, and the student be able o read it?
I have a theory: the ones that write the exams are completely isolated from the society during all year, after all this.
Have you ever noticed that the exams arrive at school in those bullet proof vehicles? Full of policemen and guns and anti-theft bombs? Well, the last one is a little bit overreaction, but you got the idea.
Are they afraid of their own corruption?
