Question

Last week, 169 Junior One students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam papers, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam was over.

“ That test was not only a test of knowledge，but also a test of morality (道德）• We wanted to show the students how important honesty is，’’ said the school’s headmaster. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.

“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,” said a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. “Schools must trust students a lot and do not use invigilators (监考官)in exams. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat (作弊)if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when they need，” said Zhang Peng.

“I don’t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,” Hu Zhihan said.

“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And invigilators can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous，but I still think we need them，” Jing Xiaofang said.

No-teacher exams may be a good idea. But before using them, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.
