Teacher reveals what secret codes like 'EBI' written on your child's homework actually mean

A teacher has revealed the meaning behind a number of secret codes used in schools to discuss children - including one often spotted on homework. TikTok star Miss Frankie, @missfrankie1, said sometimes teachers wrote 'EBI' on homework and she has explained what it really means.

She said acronyms were commonly used to help teachers communicate with each other. KCSIE, WWW and EBI are just a few of the multitude of codes used. In Miss Frankie's video, she speaks to her friend Zoe to see if she can guess what they mean. She captioned the video: "Seeing if my friend knows teacher terminology."

In the clip - which has been liked more than 100,000 times - 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." You can get more story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
