Exactly!

Where got people doze off like that in front of students, during national exam Oral setting. Too much, this invigilator, should report to moe because he is paid to do the job

He is supposed to do his part in evaluating candidates for Oral. Then if he doze off, how is the candidate going to get marks from him, for that part or portion which he is responsible for ?

[quote=phtthp post_id=1929566 time=1566005941 user_id=35251]All this asking about one date, why is it even important to the EL Oral? To test p6 student forgetfulness if they remember anything or what ?

What if student really can't remember any date at all, dont know how to answer ? Get zero score, for this qn, penalized for not bring able to recall / remember any single date ?

Why so weird suddenly ask for date, in EL Oral?
1st time come across psle eng oral, asking for dates, or is it a new psle starting trend, involving number games in English oral ? This is a language exam, not some Maths number national exam

Any EL Oral examiner or invigilator here, can help to answer: will the child get zero mark, if child can't supply any date at all ?

My dd was not even asked about the date. She told me this question was not asked at all. Forgetfulness is somehow related to the value: responsibility. The conclusion must link back to the topic how you can avoid being forgetful in future, what you can do to remember etc.

But examiner didn't ask how do you ensure you don't forget this important date.
Only, Tell me a date you don't forget.
And done.[/quote]Pardon me for not elaborating earlier that the examiner asked, “Have you ever forgotten something before?” He did not ask Tell me about a date you did not forget.

The kidscan tell the teacher or principal of the school. They should handle from there.
Think no choice then need to call SEAB.
Teacher sure get into trouble though after that.
Sad case.

My gal was in the 2nd session, maybe he was too tired from the 1st session… a few of DD classmates also feedback the same examiner dozed off when they taking the oral

[phtthp]

His colleague should have asked him to go wash room, wash his face, wash his tired sleepy eyes, go canteen buy a cup of coffee to wake himself up

Since this unacceptable behaviour was also observed by other students, I hope you would inform your school’s principal and request that he/she feedback to MOE.

Parents can feedback to MOE directly.
Google for MOE feedback form.

Same, DD was asked the exact same question also.
When she replied PSLE exam dates, the examiner did not prompt further.

Hope she did not lose too many marks due to this answer.
For the examiner who dozed off, she say he has his fist on his cheek, nodding on and off, only till the last question that the other examiner nudge him, then he lift his head up and look at my gal.

In order to score points in oral, cannot wait for examiner to prompt. Not wrong to quote PSLE exam dates but should elaborate why.

It is not right for the examiner to doze off. Most unprofessional and very likely he will not be able to give a fair assessment as he’s not paying attention.
