I remember the name but also there were so many different tests. Were PATs the ones where you used a B2 pencil?
I remember reading Freakonomics where they looked at the data from schools and found evidence that teachers were editing answers before submitting in order to make themselves look like better teachers ๐
I mostly remember they smelled nice and had high print quality! But yes pencil. And foldy bits.
Must re read Freakonomics sometime. That's hilarious but I guess to be expected. Remember teaching inspectors?
Teacher: "Now remember class, an inspector is coming to inspect you all today so you must be nice and quiet and on your best behaviour all day"
Me (to my friends) "we can just act normal, mum says the inspector is really only inspecting Mr Mackie's teaching". ๐
Haha I have terrible memory but I do remember on occasion a person coming to watch a teacher teach. I don't think the teacher ever tried to pass it off as inspecting the kids, though ๐
