Hello everyone,

just wanted some advice. I had a drama practical exam on Wednesday and, on the Thursday I went to my Drama party as our Drama A-Level is over. During our party we walked through the office and realized our teacher had left the marks on the desk. As me and my friends were leaving school we decided to go back to see if they were still there. THEY WERE, and the teacher had gone home.

I and my friend saw the marks and I was elated as I got full marks! But my friend didn't do very well, averaging a C. A fatal blow as she wanted to do drama the next year.

Through my elation, and as many friends were texting me asking what they got and I remembered theirs, I told my friends what they got.

THe next day my friend entered the classroom, and told us she had told the Head of Year that we knew our marks, and her excuse was that "she wanted to know why she did so badly." Stupid cow.

We were interrogated by the teachers, and my so called friends ratted me out, showing my teachers the text where I had told them what everyone got. It was a moment of pure humiliation and betrayal.

Other than that, I'm very worried about returning to school. Do you think there is a chance I could get disqualified? Just because someone wasn't happy! I would be devastated as I am the first person to get full marks in the practical A2 in school and I worked my bum off!

Advice would be appreciated

Many thanks

I don't see why you should get disqualified. You havn't technically broken any rules that I know of. You havn't done anything to change your marks or anybody else's. All you did was notice them sitting there and let curiosity get the better of you. It's the teachers' fault for leaving them there.

Do you think?! Okay that's made me feel better. Why do you think it's such a massive deal then? The headteachers got involved and everything? Is knowing your marks before results day really bad !??!

I wouldn't stress too much about it, it's not like you've cheated or anything!

I agree; I think your so-called friends are showing their jealousy and, had they done as well as you, wouldn't have gone to the HoY about it. You don't deserve to be disqualified and I really hope your marks are allowed to stand because I know just how much work goes into getting a good mark in the Drama practical, not long done my A2 prac and it was a nightmare trying to get it all done.

The teacher shouldn't have left them lying around, but the only lesson there really is for you to learn is who to trust with things like this. It isn't (as far as I know) a disqualifiable offence to see results that you've been given. Anyway, they won't be your final marks I don't think - doesn't your teacher have to send them to an external moderator to make sure they're fair? They do for us in AS year, and in A2 year an external examiner comes in and watches our performance.

Yeah i agree, it was such a vicious act which really bruised my outlook on people but yeah, drama practical is immense hours! It really is a nightmare!

Yeah, i really feel I learnt a valuable lesson of who to trust!! Yeah, I don't think they will be. That's what I said when I was arguing our case, but the external moderator examined my teacher marking it? Bit of an odd one really. But in AS that's what they did. But if they do, lets hope my "friend" gets lower and mine stay the same hahaha! SEE HOW EVIL THIS HAS MADE ME ! I'm joking I hope not. Good luck with your results! And thank you for the advice!

Least you could have done was send it tell them online or something which is a bit harder to prove then showing a direct text.

Also no offense but what did you expect your friend to do? Sit quiet after getting to know her low mark? Honestly, if you believed that was actually going to happen, I dont know what to say.

Why would the school even care?

I doubt you'd get disqualified as you didn't do anything to change the marks. Your mate probably ratted you out because she was jealous.

I wouldn't worry. My technology teacher used to "accidently" leave our coursework marks sitting on the bench so we could all see them. You should be fine. Your friend is an idiot though.

No. I acknowledge she was upset. But I actually did not think that she would run to the head of year. At least she could have asked the drama teacher who would have kept it a secret and prevented, not only myself, but the teacher and everyone else from getting into trouble. At the end of the day yes. She didn't have to blab it to the head of year.
