I thought it was important to publish this piece tonight, which was sent to me by a teacher a short while ago. It doubtless sums up the feelings of many teachers across Scotland tonight. https://t.co/Cgr02PVhTl @TesScotland@tes#SQAresultsday#SQAresults#SQA
@graemepwallace Well said. I also know of a school where the majority of C candidates were downgraded to Ds. Last year they had 25 Higher Cs, this year only 2. Professional judgement in their case clearly counted for nothing.
@Emma_Seith Will be interesting to know the local/ regional pictures. My colleagueโs dept have had majority of Higher English Cs changed to Ds - 25Cs last year compared to 2 this year. Pass rate has plummeted. What is the rationale behind it?
@EnglishScotland I thinks thereโs sometimes a fine line between preparing them for the exam and letting them to respond the literature. Iโd like to think no one is simply โtechnique spottingโ or colour coding without enjoying the poetry - that would be a real shame.
Good morning, hope everyone is well and raring to go for another week of home schooling!
The question we'd like to ask today is: what poems, short stories or other short texts are you planning on doing when we start 'blended learning'? 1/2
