GRADING SCHEME FOR TEACHERS
A PROTEST.
(BI TBLEGiUPri.—F.tBSS ASSOCIATION.)
DUNEDIN, 6th December.
Discussion occurred at tho annual meeting of the Otago Educational Institute concerning the Dominion grading scheme. Finally it was resolved: "This meeting of teachers emphatically protests against the very apparent want, of uniformity -in the standard by which grading marks between district and district, and especially Auckland arid Otago, have been granted." It was stated that in Grades 6 and 7, head masters, ten Aueklanders out of 26 were graded perfect, as against two of 34 in Otago. This showed, it was claimed, that the Auckland inspectors worked' on a lower standard. Similar discrepancies in other grade schools, which would tell heavily when the grading scheme becomes the Dominion promotion scheme, were quoted.
