Our children's exam results being marked by cocktail waitresses and students?

Question

This says Ed Balls is no worse than in previous years. He'd know as his government were in charge.

Answer 1

I think those people are just inputting data or so I hope as I have a child still awaiting a year 9 sat result.

It's disgraceful that we allow the Americans to get involved. Ed Balls should resign.

Answer 2

It certainly seems so, sorry Ed, no pun intended but, what a balls up !

Answer 3

Sometimes people in 'ordinary' jobs like waitresses and students are not Dumbo's. They could be filling in while studying or doing it until a better job comes along.

I am bringing you attention to this because the old saying 'Don't judge the book by it's cover.' These people are perfectly capable of marking exam results.

Answer 4

should have included a tip with exam papers at least cocktail waitress will pass any one for a quick buck,yes i did say buck lol

Answer 5

Worse than that.  Some of them are being marked by Americans.

Answer 6

Might as well have let the kids mark their own papers!  I am waiting fro my son's year nine results too.  But have at least had the teacher assessment results (they were very good).  Will be interesting to see whether the cocktail waitresses agree with the teachers though.

Answer 7

Are you implying that cocktail waitresses and students are incapable of marking an exam paper? I suggest you stop reading and believing everything you read in the media.

Answer 8

I didn't think they were being marked at all due to all the absentees!! lol! I think there are more than a few lessons to be learnt from this bright idea..:))
