Committee notes
What stayed with the people who were in the room.
These are notes from directors and subject leads after a particular sitting. They are not a score for the office, and they are not a promise about the next school’s papers.
I had prepared a speech about the top of Matthayom 5 science. The bar showed the top as nine students and the middle half sitting fourteen marks lower than I had been telling the board. We spent the rest of the morning on that gap. The speech went back in the folder.
The mathematics and science pages were clear, and the year heads used them the same week. I had assumed the English item page would be inside the same book. It was not. We booked a question-paper sitting afterwards, and that took another eight days. Say so in the first letter if your department needs both.
Our two campuses had been comparing English in a group chat. The paired spread put Don Mueang’s middle half eight marks to the right of Lak Si on a paper with the same full mark. Nobody enjoyed it. Both subject leads stayed for that page and left with the same copy of the caption.
The primary staff room is small. Four wall sheets, Thai through to English, were the most the wall could hold without covering the duty roster. They came down the week the end-of-year book arrived, which is what we had agreed, and I was glad the date was written on the corner.
A morning that changed the revision groups
In October 2025 a government secondary school near the Chaeng Watthana corridor booked a Result Morning for its mid-year papers. Six year groups, seven subjects. The mark sheets arrived nine working days before the sitting, just inside the line we ask for. Niran drew the Matthayom 3 mathematics bar with a thin top — four students above seventy on a paper out of one hundred — and a middle half running from thirty-eight to sixty-one.
The year head had already drafted three revision groups by class. In the room, looking at the width of that middle, the department folded the draft and rebuilt the groups by the breaks on the bar instead of by the form tutor’s class. They did it on the Monday. We did not attend that meeting and we do not claim the groups were the right ones. We claim only that the bar was on the table when they decided, and that the director wrote the breaks into the note we left behind.
The English department asked, at the end, for item tallies. That was a second booking. The reservation in Malee’s note above is the same kind of gap: the morning covers the bands you ordered, and a question-by-question reading is another morning.
