on the potential for conflicts....
I am not so sure that the Internet has such an effect.
On Fri, 31 Jan 1997 Richard Young posted an email from
Chris Sivewright that included this paragraph (the
paragraph is Chris's not Richard's):
"I also happen to think (though this is not really to
do with the acceptability of the subject) that there
should be fewer commercial courses where Chief
Examiners are the key speakers (this applies to the
sale of tapes, marking schemes with student essays
etc) and more of the Inset days (as done by the
AEB for example) on a local basis. There is no way my
school will pay for a L100 course run by a commerciual
organisation where the key teacher is a Chief Examiner
- though they would pay if the course was run by an
examining board."
This was over 5 years ago and has hardly acted as a
check!
