GCSE results 2011: quarter of exams graded an A
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education...aded-an-A.html
What a joke. This just makes them worthless, and those that are ultra-intelligent basically have their grade watered down so more can fit in the 'A' bracket. Exams are supposed to filter people into levels of ability. It's been proven that if an 'A' student sat the same level of exam they had in the early 90's they would only get a B or C.

... alas MY passes were all 'C's when I sat some Scottish Highers & an "O" Grade as a mature student in my 30s during the mid 1970s. Never did me any good career wise ... but I suppose I'd at least had the satisfaction of knowing I'd managed to "scrape through" in each of them.

I remember one time when I was a police officer (DCI) going with a Commander and a Det Chief Superintendent to give a presentation to the Senior Command Course (Supt and Chief Supt high flyers). Having a coffee before we went in we realised that we only had a couple of 'O' levels between us and two of them were 'O' woodwork !!!
