Playing God

Twice a year, I get to play God..  Remember when you were in school and teachers always comforted you when the national exams  were too hard that the examiners will do moderation?  Well, I have been upgraded and I get to play God too when it’s time to moderate the students school results..   Not enough As for the examination results, i add bonus points to those who are borderline Bs..  Not enough Ds, I “punished” the students by taking away their participation marks or their project marks so that they were downgraded to Ds..  Until the final statistics is “sui sui” with the standard number of As, Bs,Cs, Ds and of course you will need some failures as well to “show” that your subject got some standard one!  Oh man!  You may think it is so shiok to play God but I am telling you that the feeling sucks!!  Now I remember why I left the full time teaching profession many years back..  Now I am only a part time teacher and not as attached to the students..  maybe can ease some of the guilt.  But I really hate mucking around with somebody’s results..
