LiteratureRe: The Curious Case Of Boda Meko (A Short Story) by ibolomo(m):
Santi222:
Whilst you are a fine story teller and a good writer, I must confess that I find the literary style used in this story rather archaic... It belongs to an era long past and was the normal mode of communicating via writing and speaking, then.... The era of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.....You are experienced, and I know you are trying to create a writing style of your own..... Peculiar to the name, LarrySun......I advice you create a style more appreciable and relevant to today's audience, else the essence of the story would be lost in all those big words.... And its soooooo easy to make grammatical blunders with them! I detected and overlooked a few here, knowing the effort you had to put in before being able to use them!




Kudos....keep up the good work!
I have read three of his literary works and I can say that this is not his usual style of writing. I guess he is testing waters with this new style and I can say that so far, I love it. You should take time to read "a coffin of errors (a short story)" and "The Brand of Cain" by LarrySun. They will get you hooked on him for life. Trust me, I am talking from experiecnce.

Pipsbasketing:
From my simple experience of invigilation and WAEC marking, WAEC should not be blamed. It could be a glaring malpractice of the highest order.

There was a case of a projectile calculation in physics, I think WAEC 2010 in Lagos, where a ball was projected from a tower of a particular height and the total height covered by the ball was required to be calculated. Students finished the exam and a couple of them narrated to me how interesting it was and showed me the expo that got to them from a so called tutorial master from another centre. I looked through and realised that only the height covered by the ball from the top level of the tower was calculated (a correct value though) but was supposed to be added to the height of the tower in order to get the overall height. I must say here that almost all the students that sat for the exam in the hall wrote that same thing in the expo.

Now, you are an examiner marking the scripts from this centre, you marked the first 50 out of 150, saw they were all making that same error including other very obvious ones, marked another 50, same error, what would be your conclusion? Then you question, how can all students make exactly the same error of this kind and at the same time?

In so many cases, many students forget expos (hard copy) in their answer booklets and submit as it is. how would you expect the examiner to react after he compares the forgotten expo with other students scripts and realises good correlation.

Did you do the exam in the same school you did your SS2-SS3 or did you go to a special center, and did you do late registration?

I would differ with the writer if the letter. As an examiner with WAEC, I have had a centre where the students score between range less than 5.

The major cause may not be far fetched except we will not tell ourselves the truth. This is as a result of examination malpractice. Once the source material is wrong, what do you think of others copying from that wrong source?

Let's not play the ostrich. It is not WAEC's fault.
TRUE TALK.
I once witnessed a case whereby the students in a centre were crying after writing the exams because the "answers" given to them were those for the previous year, and the said students were foolish enough not to scrutinize such "help" offered them before swallowing and downloading them hook, line and sinker.
I have seen another case whereby I collected the material given to them and compared it with the questions asked, I discovered only about 25-30% of the answers were correct.
I recently saw the result of a student that went to a village school to enable him engage in exam malpractice. All I was seeing was D7, E8, F9. Even in subjects like Civic Education
It even takes a genius to be able to correctly "download" the source materials in a way that will make him/her pass such exam.

The bottomline is; EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
EducationRe: Teacher Writes An Open Letter To WAEC Over Results by ibolomo(m): 10:28am On Aug 08, 2016
"they will soon LOOSE confidence...".
Little wonder your students failed your subject in their SSCE exams. I have absoute confidence in the conduct of examinations by WAEC. I speak as one who failed a subject in the said exams before and I knew exactly why I got a D7. the Following year, I had a B2 in the same subject. Please make sure you teach your students not only the right thing, but how to answer questions correctly. A student might know what to write but not how to answer questions.

And by the way, are you sure you didn't pass them "chokes" during the exams that later backfired?

if you still have your ID card with you, check the bottom right corner of the card, you should see two sets of codes; serial number and pin. go to www.waecdirect.org and enter the candidate number, year and type of examination, serial number and pin to check your result

What a show of shame. Playing sentiment with scripture. Those who claim they are christians would not see anything wrong with this.
I am a christian and I say categorically that the Bible in no way supports this. There are several places in the Bible that categorically state that pervertion of justice in favoir of the rich and those who support same would face God's wrath. If Bukola Saraki indeed did not commit any crime (which I seriously doubt), then he should go and plead his case in the court of law. Shikena.
