About the SS paper this morning, I felt it was quite okay and simple but I had a doubt. So it is possible,I hope to clarify this doubt.
SBQ: Does Source A support means testing? Just a general question, since you need to use it for question (d) and it's important to input to correct view.
And I've asked around, many have opposite views, as if 50% of the school said support and the other 50% disagree.
However, I'm one of those who disagree as the picture kinda show RICH people acting POOR, and so this means that means testing must also be implemented in order to disallow unfairness for the poor who need these subsidies. The RICH people(shown from their posh clothes and rich dressing), seems to be beggars, and ever since means testing was implemented, the "RICH beggers" seem to be ignored and this shows the effectiveness of the means testing. Hence, the writer supports the view on that means testing is good.
Maybe my answer was wrong, but it doesn't really matter. What disturbs me is the Source, as it has really showed something new: An equal distribution of agreement and disagreement.
That's one weird source.
Oh, and I would like to thank the ones who are going to help to clarify this doubt, thanks!
I will not be giving you answers here. That will be done by your teacher in class. But rather, for the benefit of all Marists out there, to explain the principles of SBQ Marks Scheme.
SBQ answers are based on student answers and these are ranked from the lowest level of thinking to the highest level of thinking. It is NOT based on the majority of students' answers (ie if 100% give a certain answer X, it must be correct) There is still a valid final/ overall interpretation that will attain a higher level (in a way, this sets a "standard" for the question). Take for instance the Indian Nuclear Testing SBQ which we went through in class, it was a 50-50 ratio on whether the the final source (the one that said "No Food, No Problem, We have the Bomb!") showed support of nuclear testing. But in the end, the highest level was atttributed to those who interpreted it as sarcastic, anti-testiing.
Hence, my point is that while we base the SBQ answers on students' answers, there is still a minimum standard they must hit for each question before they can ascertain the highest level. This minimum standard is thus set by us, your teachers. But this minimum standard should also be a realistic one in that at least some people in the entire school is able to hit.
