It's late on Sunday evening here and I'm just back at my hotel having got soaked again on the way back from another hotel in which most of the other IB examiners I'm working with are staying. Twelve of us enjoyed dinner together there as a prelude to our final day of subjecting a variety of scripts to extremely close scrutiny in an attempt to standardise the marking of papers world wide in our subject. It was nice to be able to chat about different versions of life in Baltimore, Berlin, Colombia, Manitoba and the Dominican Republic rather than how students manifest knowledge of context, important though such knowledge certainly is.
It's a big world out there. Such variety; little in the way of standardisation. How can anyone ever claim to be bored?
