| Grades given by teachers
in the course of the 6th year of Swiss region Jura’s primary schools are routinely «adjusted» on
the basis of standardized tests. These corrections were the
object of the presented study. In spite of the many variables
in the context that remained uncontrolled, the grading standards
of each teacher could be shown to remain stable over time,
while differing from one subject matter to the other. A simple
correction of each teacher’s «personal equation» is
proposed, as a means to keep these sources of error in check.
