It is good to be able to live among others who share your values and beliefs, but also to be able to express your own individuality, talents, and interests in your own way.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336729074703850201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952148482813126649.post-78731340415976415912017-04-26T23:16:59.172-07:002017-04-26T23:16:59.172-07:00You have a point, Sharon :)You have a point, Sharon :)SENCO Cat Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026889857534425125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952148482813126649.post-18677493007422401292017-04-26T23:15:36.301-07:002017-04-26T23:15:36.301-07:00There are points for and against and I would think...There are points for and against and I would think coming from your medical background there are many essential things that MUST be uniform!!SENCO Cat Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026889857534425125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952148482813126649.post-2547493197969239242017-04-26T23:13:20.317-07:002017-04-26T23:13:20.317-07:00They say it's the quiet ones you have to watch...They say it's the quiet ones you have to watch, Hilary!

I also see the value in group assessments but we need to accept it is representative of one moment from one day. Many variables influence the results.

I can't think of a better alternative apart from uniformity here. Uniform standards is the only option for content, while the delivery method may be different and non-standard according to the discretion of the teacher.<br /><br />Thought provoking post!
