That just proves to me these GCSE's are not worth the paper they are written on. They appear to be very open to abuse and cheating.
She finished the work and handed it in and it was graded. The teacher then gave it back to her and said do some more and I will give you more marks.
Two points spring to mind.
1. If she thought she had done her best and finished the work then that is what she should be marked on - final, no extra chances.
2. Is what this teacher did allowed by the examining body? Are teachers allowed to accept completed work, then give it back and say well done, do a bit more and I will give you a better mark? What has happened just does not appear right to me.
What is the difference between a teacher telling her to do more work for a better mark after grading it already, or, the teacher telling pupils they have got some answers wrong in an exam and telling them to change them?
