Your grades mean NOTHING!
Hi Ed, as a former science teacher I can tell you much more about why grades are worthless. We are barely scratching the surface of the broader issues at play here including:
-examiner bias
-"scripts" for answers, not demonstration of knowledge
-simplification of English & Maths skills required across all subjects
-"wokery" in the curriculum(especially this one)
-repeatable and predictable exam formats
-distribution of marks, not a standard to reach for an "A" grade (now a 7)
-reformatting the grades from A-U to 1-9
-help for "disabled" pupils (you'd be amazed how common dyslexia is in private schools)
-no standard across subjects and introduction of bollocks subjects - e.g a 9 in physics compared to a 9 in business studies are worlds apart, this wasn't always the case
-teacher determined grades during covid
Although all these issues were in place, I left teaching when schools became experimental injection centres, happy to share more for anyone curious. Made an account just to post this.
I don't see why in a society of an average IQ of 120 say, that the bottom half fail if they meet valid mastery criteria. It would be stupid to fail competent drivers on the basis that they are the bottom 5%.
