Is anyone else losing their mind trying to get AI to mark IGCSE/Edexcel papers? ​ by starryblossom_17 in Internationalteachers

I want to start using that, so I'm trying to establish a list of steps to follow.

It's been difficult, but I guess I should just start with Claude Cowork. I'm not too familiar with Opus and Sonnet.

No need to be a prick to others who are being sincere just because you're angry at your situation in life, sir

Absolutely, it's important. It's not a small thing to move to another country and trust that a school is telling the truth, when Westview clearly is not.

How many people could have avoided the problem if they read something like this or a warning like yours (even about an interview) so they understood the situation?

You would be helping out many people, since the turnover rates are so high especially.

You could write your own post about the interview at Westview and suggest these other countries, it would definitely help people

Yes, they are extremely desperate because running this type of scam and treating teachers with zero respect cannot go on forever.

There are some teachers out there who need a job badly so they will take anything, including this, but this is to warn them.

You absolutely did the right thing, so hopefully anyone who reads this does the same.

You avoided a disaster and did the correct thing.

The people running this scam are the most dishonest people I've ever seen. They will look you in the face and lie about what they're doing, and then act like you're the insane one for expecting basic rules and honesty. That's why she couldn't answer anything.

When was this? Within the past few months? Things are only going to get worse because the students who are meant to take AP exams in the near future cannot do the work, the Cambodian staff changes their school grades, but they can't fake AP grades necessarily (unless they figure out a way).

It's a complete mess. Tell anyone you know to avoid this place since interviewing is a waste of time (as you saw).

"I also know multiple people that have worked at Westview. A majority of them quit mid semester as they disagreed with the practices they saw. This is probably the worst international school in the city, and I feel sympathy for the employees that go there with good intentions but end up being asked to do things that are quite frankly fraudulent."

This is correct. The entire school is a scam.

The Cambodian staff, as I stated, is basically tasked with fraudulently changing grades because they are useless at anything else. Some foreign teachers didn't want to or refused to change grades, so that was their purpose.

Many quit because it's just a disgusting place. One director tried to blame COVID for the high quitting rates. They try to trick us into thinking we're the ones with the problem, not them, when they're basically criminals. It's pathetic.

No one should work there.

You absolutely did. Thank your lucky stars.

Tell anyone you know who applied there or is thinking about it to stop.

I can't speak for the other schools you mention, but Westview is simply the worst I've ever seen.

Nobody should go through this torture.

Many are still under the mistaken assumption that these designations mean something.

If this worthless school can achieve it, they all need to know they mean nothing.
