...and the results, like usual, make me feel like the crappiest teacher ever, which can only mean they make my students feel the same way. About me AND themselves!
An exam is just one evaluation tool and I wish the ministry exams could be seen that way. Unfortunately all of the security, weight and build up for the darn things (I really want to use stronger language) creates a pressure cooker.
I will let no one, even you, say one bad word about you as a teacher. That goes for you too, Mrs. Cule!
Oh man....I know how you feel. Even some of my brightest students struggle at exam time. It leaves me feeling deflated at the end of the year. :-(
