Teacher explains what it means if you see 'EBI' on your child's homework

A teacher has shared a hidden code school staff use on children's homework, among other abbreviations that have a range of meanings.

TikTok user @missfrankie1 said that sometimes she and other teachers will write "EBI" on homework, and it turns out there's a hidden meaning behind the letters. She explained the codes are used to help teachers communicate with each other, as reported in the Mirror.

There are many codes, from KCSIE to WWW, and here is what they all mean.

In a TikTok video that has now amassed hundreds of thousands of likes and views, Miss Frankie spoke to her friend, Zoe, to see if she could decipher 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 then explained that EBI stands for "even better if" and WWW stands for "'what went well".

She then explained what WT, WA, and GD means, with it being "working towards", "working at an expected level" and "greater depth", respectively.

The last code is KCSIE, which she explains means "keeping children safe in education".
