Whilst it's unfortunate this kid might be cheating the system, I don't think it's worth being upset if they got through. The point of these exams is to allow students to study and learn these topics, which it sounds like they did. It sounds like while maybe you failed in gatekeeping the cheaters (an impossible post gpt task) you have succeeded in the real goal which was to help these kids learn and improve.
- tombert 3y agoOh I largely agree; I'm kind of learning that you have to view teaching as somewhat more of a "statistical success" than anything else. It's just one of those things that while you're totally right, the one or two bits of failure kind of nag at me. It's extremely easy to take these things personally (especially for a nascent teacher like me) when in reality I should likely view things as transactional.
- yowzadave 3y agoA good and reasonable sentiment. It's a very human thing for people who are largely successful at something to fixate unproductively on failures--and in this case you can't even conclusively say that it was a "failure".
