Issues with Student Assessment (The story of Obim part 13)

 


Issues with Student Assessment

Upon locating Sir Innocent Onyemaize, Obim and Meme nearly received a punishment for attempting to access the staff room while disheveled.

Two girls, already under punishment, were inside the staff room; they left after a conversation with the teacher.

Traditionally, children of teachers were distinguishable by the higher discipline instilled in them, often making them more intelligent and adept in academics.

However, Obim observed that a student's grade frequently depended on their relationship with their teachers rather than merit.

A fellow student, renowned for securing the top rank, was permitted to submit the exam answer sheets to the teacher's office post-examination.

This student was later found in the Biology Lab, altering his answers from those of a classmate who usually ranked second.

To Obim's astonishment, the teacher overlooked this malpractice, favoring the student due to his preferred status.

In a certain primary school in Oguta, a teacher was caught consuming a student's lunch, an act demeaning for educators and detrimental to the child's welfare.

This misconduct likely results in the child receiving preferential grading over their peers.
