Ayolt de Roos

I'm a 21 year old International Business student at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Due to the serious nature of this study I turned to photography as a creative outlet about two years ago. It has ever since become one of my greatest passion, and I am here to share some of that with all of you.

  10. Exam hall games

    British exam invigilator found the perfect cure for their boredom during the long hours they have to make towards the end of the school year: exam hall games.

    One of the most discussed games in recent news is “spotting the ugliest pupil in the room”. One-by-one teachers would walk between the tables and stop for several seconds next to the pupil they think is the ugliest. Once done, the other invigilator would do the same.
    After this game had hit the news, many students went on to Twitter, to ask questions such as “was that the reason why my teacher stood next to me during Geography?!” 

    Other popular games were simple races. A pencil sharpening race for example, or a race who could translate the exam instructions to French as quickly as possible. Slowed down games of Pacman were also popular, in which one teacher played the role of Pacman, and the other the ghosts.

    There was also a teacher that made quite an interesting mathematical discovery:

    (Number of students wearing glasses / Number of redheads in the hall) + Number of coughs in a 10-minute period - Number of children with visible head lice = always 4.

    So far, the only official reaction to the news about the invigilators behavior has come from a spokesman from the regulatory body of exam in Great Britain, who says that this behavior is “frowned upon” by the organisation.
