Help please!! Foul play, teacher marking work fraudulently

[TM80]

I would like some advice on what I should do. My DD is in Y5, they have finished their end of year tests for Maths and English. The teacher had lost a few of the children's test answer papers, so he has given one of the children the opportunity to do the test again. However, my DD has observed the teacher providing the child who had to do the test again with the answers. Now unsurprisingly, this child has scored 140 out of 140, this child also happens to be the 'teacher's pet'. Where do I go with this information?

Well judging by this thread, the teacher would (hypothetically) be pretty safe in assuming nobody would believe the kid... 🤔🤣

Your daughter must:

a) go to a lot of clubs to have ascertained these are standard tests

and

b) have very boring conversations with her year 5 friends at those clubs

I have 4 dc op, all well past year 5 and safely into adulthood, and none of them went through any standard tests at that age. It will all be fine, don't stress about it - it's very unlikely to have happened how your daughter thinks/says it did.

I'm a teacher. My year 5s haven't taken a standard test that is out of 140. What should I do? I'd better resign right now!

😂😂😂

You're out of control. You have no sense of classroom practice or of testing. Resignation is too good for you!

Tarring and feathering is too good for the likes of you!

Some schools do tests at the end of every year, some don’t.
Mine went to private schools and had end of year exams from prep onwards ( yr4 I think ), plus final year of pre prep ( yr3) but friends with kids at state schools didn’t until they reached lower 5th or their gcse mocks.

The end of year exams are not standardised.

The child?!? For the rest of their lives? Every again!

because of course it was absolutely the child’s who is what? Like 9-10? It was 100% their fault

Yeah right…..bollocks

@ApocalypseNowt it's a case for Mulder and Scully I reckon. The truth is out there.

@BiscuitsandPuffin The boy was entitled to have a reader, maybe the school just needed to have a reason to get rid of you?

Ps. End of year tests were used for streaming purposes in our school.

so it might be worth your while asking why they are doing the tests and what impact they have.
If it’s a private school they could impact where they are until they hit senior school entry for year 9.

Like mother like daughter…….

Unkind, jumping to conclusions!

🤔

See if it works this time!

No I don’t change the batteries in pigeons. I’m in school admin to I saved myself time by converting them all to solar. Leaves me more time to gossip about our families in the staff room.

@TM80 I don't think you understand how schools work, or what teaching standards are nor how staff are checked on. @BiscuitsandPuffin had explained her experience.

@LadyMonicaBaddingham Nah, I'm as pale as a milk bottle like you 😅

Bit rude

If you have a problem, noone else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you could hire ... the A Team.

<insert massive eye roll>

👏 👏 👏

Or ghostbusters?

Oh my goodness yes exactly this!

@declutteringmymind Thank you for the advice

Please tell me you are at least self aware enough to realise that it's parents like you who contribute to the hellishly stressful job of teaching and are the reason they are leaving in droves?

If this was a genuine school problem, then every teacher on here would be replying to it with compassion and understanding, which by the way we give to children all day every day (as they need and deserve). However, as a teacher this so obviously reads as entirely false. Park your arrogance, realise you don't know best, and take a second to realise that actually, the reason we're reacting comically is because it is so patently obvious that this isn't an exact and true recount.

That's what SS are for
