Loved the animated GIF of "the model" literally falling!

The coronavirus has thrown a lot of curveballs and each has sent impacted groups looking for answers. As OP correctly concludes, there are no good answers. Only worse and bad ones.

Besides the original problem, the OP's analysis is well presented and brings out the worse in this not so well thought out solution. I hope IB is listening and is willing to adjust their model to address issues pointed out by the OP.

Thank you - I appreciate it. Some people on another forum actually informed me of the fact that other educational boards in the UK are planning on adopting this exact same 'model based assessment methodology'. I do not understand why more people aren't upset about this.
