Teachers are affected by their ability to function, in any of their personal and social roles, and they may be considered to suffer from depersonalization-derealization disorder. It is important to point out that they manifest a feeling of not being able to control their movements or that they simply feel like a robot, having little coordination when doing exercises with the students and also that it manifests itself in communication with other teachers. They manifest having emotional and physical numbness in response to living with the world around them. Fear of the social environment under normal characteristics causes emotional exhaustion, a high level of stress and poor mental health, which is why 80% of teachers at the time of the study are considered to have Bournout syndrome.

Examining the Adequacy of Past Performances and Teacher Judgments to Estimate GCSE and A-Level Grades During the Pandemic Crisis (Published)
On the 17th March, 2020, the British government announced that due to school closures during the height of the pandemic, GCSE and A–Level grades would be determined on the basis of teachers’ assessments and evidence of students’ hitherto attainments. England’s Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, emphasised that “grades awarded this summer will accurately reflect students’ abilities and will be as valid this year as any other“.To test this assertion, this quantitative research study independently examined the predictive accuracy of using past performances and teacher judgments to anticipate students’ final grade outcomes among 84 third–year university students at a private university located in the outskirts of Bangkok. After assessments were formally graded, the mean end-of-year English score for 2018-2019 was calculated at 59.94%, which was significantly different to the average standard attained previously in 2017-2018 (54.36%; sig, p <0.05). Nonetheless, in disagreement with prior literature, teacher judgments proved to be statistically reliable (57.98%, not sig, p <0.05). Further implications, research recommendations and policy considerations are also discussed in this paper.
