It was on Monday, October 6th, and I was eager to assess my primary one students' understanding of the day's lesson. As a seasoned teacher, I had learned that relying solely on students' verbal affirmations was not enough. The familiar chorus of "yes, Aunty" doesn't always translate to genuine comprehension.
I had spent years refining my teaching methods, and I knew that some students, especially the shy ones, would rather nod along than ask questions when they didn't understand. It is always my responsibility to ensure that every child grasped the material, and that's why I always made it a point to conduct both oral and verbal tests.
