If you're a parent, you might have seen some odd-looking letters written on your child's homework when it's been marked by a teacher. It turns out that there are some secret codes that teachers use.
Now, one teacher has explained what some of these mean. Miss Frankie, a teacher who's also become a TikTok star, posted a video on the platform looking at the subject.
She said that the codes are used between teachers. They include KCSIE, WWW and EBI, as well as various others, reports the Mirror.
In the video, Miss Frankie spoke to her friend Zoe to see if she understood the codes. She captioned the video: "Seeing if my friend knows teacher terminology."
In the clip, she said: "Okay, I'm a primary school teacher and Zoe's a midwife. So I'm going to ask her what some of these acronyms mean that I use in work."
She then started with the term LO, which means learning objectives, then she moved on to PP/FSM, and she explained this means 'pupil premium' and 'free school meals'.
She continued: "If I honour a child's work when I'm marking it, I will put an EBI and a WWW."
Miss Frankie explained that EBI stands for 'even better if' and WWW stands for 'what went well'. She then explains what WT, WA, and GD mean.
The TikTok creator continued: "So WT means 'working towards'. WA means 'working at an expected level' and GD means 'greater depth'."
The last code is KCSIE, which she explains means 'keeping children safe in education'.
She added: "It's the safeguarding framework that we have to use. So in safeguarding training, we have to use the KCSIE."
