O/T:- A Level Results

[SwalePie]

Putting in an ‘algorithm’ that bumps up private school’s kid’s grades while downgrading those from a more modest background is pretty much peak Tory.

You get what you voted for folks.

Interesting. Sauce please?

He won’t be able to Swale.

Look, at the end of the day there is an appeals process and also the opportunity to sit exams to achieve actual results. Let’s be honest, University will be **** this year. Freshers week will be a damp squib. So but put back a year isn’t the end of the world.

The only alternative is to give everyone the grades they think they deserve.

Indeed

Oops !

The only alternative is to give everyone the grades they think they deserve.

Or the grades the teachers who taught them most of the year think they deserve. Unless they have wealthy parents then it's the grades they have paid for. That's a much better system for growing your future leaders as current outcomes show.

See above. You get what you voted for. Mugs.

I would recommend reading BFP's fact checking link to the end.

It states that the effect is due to a statistical anomaly rather than ideological bias, and to prove that point is more pronounced in decidedly unTory Scotland than in England. It also basically says there isn't an obvious better way of doing it.

Yeah, all he'll do is post a link to a far left website like Channel4 (snigger) to back up his point.

Seriously, is there anyone on here who wouldn't usually vote Tory but did so at the last election who is happy with the way their party of choice has run the country since Boris became PM?
