I'm lost for words ....
sorry, I mean I'm vocabulaically deffered
Budgie:
So, if you can't "fail" an exam then I assume you also can't "pass" one either so what's the point?
Remind me to bring this to the attention of MOT examiner next time I take the car in!! :(scared):
Andy the Landy:
Heard it on radio today - ridiculous - kids are too soft these days, bring back National Service
TULL:
Total and utter rubbish, as a teacher and ex accademic ive seen education falling appart for years tests eg O levels getting easier pass rates getting higher, so now educationally challenged people shouldnt fail ?
Where is the value of the exam ? why bother with SATs the list goes on, its about time people got away from treating everybody with kid gloves, call it how it is . Education is in a mess,
Range Rover Blues:
What about some praise for the pupils who manage success without deferment? If we continually lower the standards to that of the lowest common denominator how can we expect to remain one of the world's leading counties?
Bring back technical college, if pupils can't suceed in accedemia let them learn the value of a good, honest vocation. I think part of the reason we have probelms in schools is this myth that all pupils can be educated the same way and to the same standard. By the time exams come around the damage is done.
