Write ‘f*** off’ on a GCSE paper and you’ll get 7.5%. Add an exclamation mark and it’ll go up to 11%.
"Pupils are being rewarded for writing obscenities in their GCSE English examinations even when it has nothing to do with the question.
One pupil who wrote “f*** off” was given marks for accurate spelling and conveying a meaning successfully."
I should get at least 100% then! How brilliant though-i guess if these are the only words a student writes then we have to refer to not the word itself but what it signifies-a big bugger off to shitty school and their crap examination systems.
My son's class is constantly being put into groups and told to compete with each other to see who can finish the set work the quickest...now they all refuse coz they hate competing against each other. His Maths teacher has promised the highest scoring group a trip to Oxford Uni: "great," they said "take us to a place that we know we will never get into just to rub our noses in it"! Smart kids-smarter than most of the idiots who come out of Oxford anyway...
He is told constantly that if his homework is not up to scratch he will FAIL, if his spelling is incorrect he will FAIL, if his class mates are not up to the standard of the teacher they will all FAIL and be withdrawn from the course. The teahcer has said he will not accept not getting 100% pass marks. In a system where teachers are also on trial, pitted against each other and entered into league tables i guess he is worried that he will FAIL.
A big EFF you to competition and league tables.
