froggg Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Gcse results show a slight drop in A-C grades from last year, a few heads complaining that the pass marks have been set unfairly high, how have your kids results gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also got her 'statistics' result today, an after school thing she did, she got a B in that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 These were so easy. Pay no attention all year, don't revise, rock up and get straight Bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Gove, he's a ferkin useless git in all things, especially education. Doubt even Ed Balls was this bad. Don't rate Gove but I support his principle that a system where too higher % get the top grades is not a grading system that works. More B's, C's and D's were needed. IMO only the exceptional (<5%) should get top grades. If 20% of students taking a paper (or whatever the figures were) got the top grade then it is unfair on the 1-3 persons in the class that are of highest ability and are now indistinguishable from their peers.

ladyram Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I see your point Silly - I'm just avoiding going off on one about Gove constantly changing the goalposts, with my daughter stuck in the middle like a guinea pig in school experiments :-(.

Ramshankered Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 My girlfriend and my ma are both teachers. Suffice to say both have been very, very unimpressed with Gove. The man is clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be galling to have your prospects reduced to a 0 hour contract at Mike Ashley's Discount Store. Still, they're all lazy and feckless supposedly...sad when a nation turns on its own youth.

Gove is trying to sort it isn't he, his belief is the courses at this level are too easy. Personally I think he is doing a good job, we need more politicians who get change through, he could carry on as before and have an easier job.

Butthead Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If too many are getting A's why don't they make the exams harder rather than just changing the grade boundaries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the same Gove who has had three goes at changing GCSEs and failed three times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
