Cheating at Port Kaituma Secondary School

– Students to re-write end of term exams

Three students of the Port Kaituma Secondary School are to re-write the Fourth Form end of year examinations. According to one of the parents, one of the students was caught cheating, and because the child and her two children were close friends, they were all suspended and told that they have to repeat the examinations.
They had already written seven subjects. Four remained. The students are to rewrite all eleven subjects during the last week of the term.
The parent of the other two students has objected to this, stating that the entire class should be penalised, but she says the Head Teacher of the school has disagreed and has penalised the child found cheating and her two friends only, regardless of the fact that the other two were not found cheating.
The parent claims that the Head Teacher implied that they might have, and all information that she (the HM) received suggest that this might be so.
The parent, while not objecting to her children re-writing the exams, still feels that the entire class should re-write the tests.
