Earthly possesions! Nothing to mourn. Luckily, we are safe, healthy, and have all of the memories locked up in our minds/memories.

Ha! At my age the memories are very misty. !LOL
It is not just age. When I mark these papers my own memories start to fade. It feels like I am losing brain mass due to the bad quality!
Really an impossible job that you do under the stringent circumstances. Somebody needs to investigate that university for malpractices. But I think that you said that you will not mark them anymore, and if you do, it can save your brain mass. !LOLZ
Haha for sure. It just gets worse and worse. I should actually record some of the bad writing and frame it. It is really bad and I cannot fathom how some people have such disrespect for themselves to even submit things like that. But it really helps with having a good laugh though.
In a way, I feel sorry for them, especially the ones that tried their best, and are waiting for top marks. Our country's education system is not up to scratch, and it looks like it will not improve soon, especially now that they are thinking about laying some teachers off. I mean, how can one teacher handle a classroom filled by 60 pupils? Sheer madness.
That is madness. (But UNISA with their 5000 students per lecturer is just as mad.) Education really became a commodity, it is a number game and not about education per se. So sad. And yes, there are probably a couple that really tried their best, but I still need to find them. From papers looking exactly the same (students giving in the same papers) to almost papers almost entirely written by AI, to papers being so sloppy and full of errors that you cannot read them, I am not so sure that there will be good papers...
Yeah, the education in this country leaves much to be desired. But the same as the universities, most schools want high passes, and everyone just gets pushed through. In your case with the same papers, I simply cannot see how you can pass that, as it's illegal, and someone needs to blow a whistle about this practice. And the same goes for papers with AI. The erroneous papers belong in the dustbin.
But you said that you have to pass all regardless. This is also illegal, and in fact it dooms the futures of the bad students, as employers will not show the same leniency.
