A veteran educator says there is evidence some of the 11-year-olds who took a controversial Computer Science pre-test last week were left traumatised.Sandie Field-Kellman, who has been teaching for over 28 years, revealed that several of the students she teaches privately had shown signs of being adversely affected by questions in the pre-test, which was an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)-administered survey.“Those children need to be shown some kind of balance to this situation that took place,” Field-Kellman told Barbados TODAY after making the disclosure on Friday.Parents and members of the public have expressed outrage about the questionnaire which was administered to first-formers at five secondary schools without parental consent. It quizzed students on their sexuality, gender identity, and mental state, among other things.Commenting on the issue during the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Astor B Watts Lunchtime Lecture series on Friday afternoon, Field-Kellman said there was clear evidence the test had affected some children.
