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.
