A Level Results

[Mark TKO]

Great news about the A level results being up on last year for the 29th year running isn't it !!

BBC News - A-level passes rise amid university places pressure

The nation's kids are getting cleverer and cleverer each year aren't they , ever since the release of the Ford Sierra (no connection)

of course it's fuck all to do with the exams getting easier \ marking being rigged \ combination of the two is it.....

unbelievable

I've been saying this every time someone else in the family gets better results for their A levels than me!

It's all bollocks, kids are clearly worse than ever and yet somehow the results are getting better every year. It couldn't possibly be that the exams are just too predictable and that teachers pretty much know what is going to be in the test.

It doesn't hurt to tell the truth though. Clearly you need to do a bit of work to get an A, but it's absurd to say that standards are rising when in reality all they are doing is manipulating things. It isn't good for anyone to see 'standards falling' and so every year we are dished out the same old mantra. British schools are a mess and these yearly propaganda reports are just pointless. It's like the Soviet 5 year plans. The economy always seems to be improving, but life always seems to suck.

The cost of going to Uni is a lot and if I was around i would not have been able to afford it without the grant I was given. The system is set for the privileged now.
