In her mock Junior Certificate business exam, herself was asked to recommend three types of non-compulsory insurance she would recommend for a business. The business was described as a carpet shop on Patrick Street in Cork. On this basis she recommended flood insurance. People, this is very solid advice. However, she got no marks as flood insurance was “not in the marking scheme”. Should she be penalised for deploying her local knowledge? Outraged etc.
Sless Carpets is near Patrick Street. You could phone them and ask if they have flood insurance.
Surely the marking scheme should be able to cope with answers that are clearly correct?
Yes, indeed, Sless (1959) &Co, the carpet people.
