HURRAY FOR EXAMS


I love mid-year exams, especially this time around.
There'll be no lesson plan to write for two weeks.
No groupwork activities to plan for.
No worksheets to prepare.
No books to mark.
Just the action research to complete.
Just a pair of watchful eyes to catch exam cheaters.
Just a red pen to help the teachers mark the examination answer sheets for multiple choice questions.
Sorry I can't mark the subjective answers.
I'm just a teacher trainee :P
