  • Private schools are opting out of A-levels and Highers (in Scotland) in favour of alternatives, such as the International Baccalaureate, because they are more respected by employers. Everyone knows, apart from the liberal establishment and the current Government that the system is being dumbed down.

    The stats are getting better, but children are less prepared for the challenges in the world of work. We arent doing people any favours with the all must have prizes attitude.

  • Exams are getting stupidly easy. Something needs to be done. I don't know whether this is is, but something has to be done. The exams have to start focusing on knowledge, not exam technique. They need to test what students know and have learnt, and not how well they answer the questions.

    At the moment schooling is becoming increasingly 'just for exams'. Why don't we teach people something they can use in their life, and test as a second priority, not the other way around.
