It would be cruel, immature and deeply unsupportive as well as profoundly
unprofessional to take small pleasures in the Northern Nazi's cringing discomfort but what the
hell...in her bumptious know-it-all wisdom, she decided that all Year 7s and 8s
including those forced into the straitjacket of the tragically misnomered Golden Groups should sit their
end of year exams with the rest of the cohort. Those of us blessed with
the Goldens raised a skeptical eyebrow, expressed concern to Those Above, that they would
not be able to sit two hours in silence for them to be put in an unacceptable position of failing spectacularly a
subject that will likely never be useful to them nor will they ever get...
...and lo, inevitably, kind of amusingly, did it come to pass...
Through abject boredom, frustration, avoidance and for a bit of a consequence free laugh, for that is what it was, the Goldens felt they could disrupt the others and amuse themselves in the smart new BSF multi-purpose hall... It was prefaced by a number of frustrated sweary exam paper ripping stomp outs occurring at the start which was followed by a rousing session from the multi-pen tap percussionistas, followed by dropping of said pens (all borrowed as they never have any), the asking of bewildered / silly / pointless / needy questions, the wrong kind of coloured paper for the bloody IRLENS kids, outbreaks of bogies and its close cousin bollocks, the contagious cough which rose to TB pandemic hospital proportions. All a terrible blight on those students wanting to get on and the pension supplementing civilian invigilators who did not have a clue what to do until the shouty fat SLT came down to impotently shout and purge the hall of the tarnished grinning and gurning Goldens.
What bothers me more than the HoDs blindness and ignorance towards the Golden Groups (average CAT scores around 70) which she does not teach is the damage done to the kids who could not possibly sit an academic exam, in strict exam conditions as well as upsetting the exam chances of those who could. Possibly a more heinous act is the one allowing her to do it.
Well done Miss W*******, well done SLT...Golden management guys...
