[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 6981954, member: 28532"] Not sure that's what the judge was judging the issue on tbh Earl. And teachers of secondary school students can have conflicts of interest no matter how much they try to detach themselves when awarding predicted grade. Human nature to want better for someone you like and not to be so nice to someone you dislike. As for predicted grades I think there's been grade inflation across the board. Even in the old days pre-covid, grades were generally given to a bell-curve. One year students might have been better/worse than the preceding year, or the course changed or whatever, but grades were generally pulled up or pushed down to conform to a bell curve so that the results for say 2002 were broadly similar to those for 2003, albeit the points required for 3rd level courses could change depending on demand and availability. For some reason that normalisation hadn't happened sufficiently in the hybrid predicted grade/written exam case over the last two Leaving Cert Years. [/QUOTE]
