Don't try to blame it on the school.Edu.kid said:No way is getting an extra 15 minutes fair and "some kids actuallly screamed because it went dark" is the biggest bull crap. Earlier in the article they say the auxillary lights went on immediately. You had other schools affected in the same grid getting 2 minutes and none at all. If they could do it then james ruse could. They probably exploited the situation. Their marks are already high enough how they are and should be reconsidered. Its not the students fault but it does affect others who have worked hard and tried their best. They didn't even stop writing it says so wth do they need 15minutes?
Exactly, hence there is nothing that can be done. I was Student A and while not getting 84 marks, do not believe I got many, if any additional marks in the extra time we were fairly awarded due to the disadvantage we were placed at.midifile said:But there is nothing they can do to make it fair.
Say, student A got 84/84 in the 2 hours and spent the extra 15 minutes checking over it (but obviously didnt get any extra marks), and student B got 75/84 in the 2 hours and spent the extra 15 minutes getting a few extra marks.
How do they distinguish between the students who would have got that mark rightfully in the 2 hours and those that earnt extra marks in the last 15 minutes?
I think thats why at the end of the article they said they would look into the marks, so people dont complain
Exactly, so just get over it and move on everybody.tacogym27101990 said:even though it's not their fault
I agree that it is not fair that another school only got 2 minutes extra time and we got 15 minutes extra time. However you must remember that the examiners are BOS independent and in no way related or affiliated with JRAHS.Edu.kid said:No way is getting an extra 15 minutes fair and "some kids actuallly screamed because it went dark" is the biggest bull crap.

The "proof" that the Herald used was an unnamed JRAHS student to whom they claimed to have spoken.Aaron.Judd said:SMH never should have published this. They have no proof whatsoever and even if it did occur (I'm not saying it did), there is nothing that cna be done as we were not told to stop writing and it was the BOS approved externam examiners who fairly awared us extra tiem after our thoughts were severly disrupted by the unfortuante power blackout.

You may have been but the other schools who apparently only got 2 mins were treated unfairly also, If you all experienced this so called black out you should all experience the same amount of extra time. I'm not saying James Ruse has any fault at that but the BOS should consider it seriously that certain exams are treated different.. or at worst redo all the exams so its fair to all reguardless of school.Aaron.Judd said:I'm not denying it didn't happen, I'm just saying we really were disadvantged from it.
Additionalyly giving marks.taking marks is just rediculous.
Refer to this thread:Aaron.Judd said:What statement. There was no statement.
I agree that it is unfair we got 15, they got 2 minutes. However is it my fault? No. Is it my teachers fault? No. Nothing can fairly be done (to you or me) to correct this.MonKazzar said:You may have been but the other schools who apparently only got 2 mins were treated unfairly also, If you all experienced this so called black out you should all experience the same amount of extra time.
