(PLO)- A 15-minute test on Technology at the beginning of the first semester of the school year of an 8th grader at Chau Duc Secondary School caused a stir when 21/34 students got 0 points; 5 students scored 1… and only one student got 10 points.
Recently, the social network caused a stir when the 15-minute Technology test scoreboard of an 8th grader, Chau Duc Secondary School, Chau Duc District, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province was posted. In which, 21/34 students of the class got 0 points; 5 students score 1; 4 points 2; 2 points 3; 1 point 4 and only one student got 10 points.
The Department of Education and Training has worked with the school regarding the bad transcripts
This scoreboard was posted by the teacher on the Vietnam Education Network Forum VNEDU and the comments said that this makes students who try to be good can’t get good. While often in these cases, teachers will “hang” points and create conditions for students to return, remove points …
After having the above information, on 1-2, Chau Duc district Department of Education and Training checked and verified. The teacher who teaches Grade 8 Technology at Chau Duc Secondary School and marks the scoreboard as above is Ms. LTTT
According to the department’s conclusion, the school’s assessment and grading of subjects is not guaranteed, and there is no regulation on grading assessments for students’ tests. The work of directing, implementing, guiding and mastering the implementation of student assessment is not really clear and effective.
Reviewing the classes that Ms. T. is assigned to teach and reviewing the responsibilities in teaching and student assessment for Grade 8 Technology, the school’s leaders review the responsibility for the teaching work. professional leadership and management to make the above error occur.

On February 5, PLO discussed with Mr. Le Thanh Kinh, Head of Education and Training Department of Chau Duc District, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province to learn more regarding the above incident as well as its conclusions for In the case of teacher T.
According to Mr. Kinh, the above checklist is the first 15-minute test of the first semester of the school year 2022-2023 (October 2022). Ms. T. said that many students in the class have a disdain for Technology subject, considering it as a sub-subject that refuses to study, and the lesson is not prepared. She gives the correct score with reality is also a way for students to have the right attitude to the subject, to study more.
After that, she also created conditions for students to study and remove points. In fact, the following tests, the semester exams, they all did better, their scores improved. The semester average score of only 4 students in the class is below average.
Ms. T.’s mistake here was to post the transcripts on the website but not through the school. The school also does not have a regulation on giving transcripts in the above case. The school immediately discovered the incident but was unable to take it down at that time. In cases where a class test score of 50% is below the average as above, they must report to the school to find out where the cause is from, either by the teacher or by the students to have a solution…
“After the first semester ended, the new parents heard regarding the above transcript, so it was a bit frustrating. However, their scores improved, with no effect on the outcome. This is a sub-subject, so it cannot be said that teacher T. gave poor grades to force them to take extra classes,” said Mr. Kinh.
The teacher asserts that he gives the correct score
Talking to PLO, the teacher of LTTT still affirmed that his purpose when giving the above score is to make students more conscious in learning and preparing lessons for this subject.
“This is a memorized subject, so when the students don’t study, have a blank paper or don’t study so they make a mistake, the teacher can’t give them an extra 0.25 points. And I studied and got 10 points. About the information, I put this child on a separate desk to work because he was studying, so other students asked a lot, affecting his work, so I let him sit alone so he might focus. After this lesson, following the tests and exams, the students focused on studying, and the midterm exam scores were all 9 and 10,” said Ms. T.
According to Ms. T., it should be assessed overall that the teacher’s teaching of students has made progress. But over there they just gave the first test scorecard. It cannot be said that students with good academic performance cannot have a subject of 0 points. Maybe other subjects they study get high marks, this subject still has to receive low scores if they don’t study.
Ms. T. also confirmed that she did not have achievement disease in education; did not do wrong and have not seen anyone invited to work separately on the above issue. Term 2 has just started and there are no tests yet, but I’m sure your results will be good.
Inflation of good students: The achievement disease
The training to produce such a series of excellent students is serving the requirements and achievements of the school and adults, not the students’ learning.
It is necessary to immediately remove the cause of achievement disease
I am a teacher with more than 30 years in the profession. I think that the high student inflation (HSG) is caused by the achievement disease of the entire education system.
