Phone A Friend During Exams

Presbyterian Ladies’ College at Croydon is having a rather interesting idea, and is having a trial run with their year 9 English students, and also plan to expand this idea to all subjects by the end of the year. Students are allowed to “phone-a-friend”, use the Internet and iPods during exams. The reasoning behind it is that students should also know how to access information from all their sources quickly and also to check the reliability of their information. This would really be an interesting development in terms of examinations. If only they introduced this kind of system (and the Internet) earlier.
