    Teacher Cheating - Unwarranted Extra Marks Given to Student

    ^^ and when they say essay questions are double marked, not all of them are. Sometimes when it gets towards the end of the marking time, and they arent finished, they double mark every 10th essay, and if there is an inconsistency between markers they go back. Sure they tell you they double...

    Smoking in the senior girls toilets...

    ^^ yes the above works well, as well as having harsh punishments for those that get caught and educating people about the dangers of smoking ( as cliched as it sounds)

    unfair asessment task?

    No. Many schools conduct many assesable tasks after the trials. It is perfectly legitimate ( although may be annoying for students) It is reccomended that they give 2 weeks notice. They are generally meant to do this, however from my understanding they are meant to do this from a courtesy...

    A letter to the Board of Studies re: Paper 2 and its stupidity...

    A letter to the Board of Studies re: Paper 2 and its stupidity...

    Ah no. If longer period of time was given, the standard would be higher and harder to distinguish between students. As instead of the mark spread being from say 3/19 -19/19 it may go to 6/19-20/19, making the mark rane narrower

    A letter to the Board of Studies re: Paper 2 and its stupidity...

    Really bad idea. Firstly all hsc english students ( yes, even if you go back to the 80's) have had to write within a 40 min time-frame. If students every year have done this and done well, why shouldn't/couldn't you do so? You state that you in ext. you " find this extra 20mins increases my...
