When I was in grade school we used to mark each other's test. We would take the test and after that the teacher would tell us to pass them back or forward. Then she would read out the answers and we would mark the tests. It wasn't that easy though, students would raise their hands to ask questions. Of course we already knew the answer to the questions we asked, what we really wanted to do was harass the person whose test we were marking. We would try to embarass them by pointing out the stupid mistakes they made. By the time this process was over the teacher would have the last laugh. She would make you shout out your mark as she entered it in her book.



Looking back now this method of education doesn't seem so great. All the teacher has to do is write a test. The students take it and then mark it. That seems pretty lazy to me. Is there some lesson that students learn from this? Do you think they still do it today?
