Evidence of how dimwitted the
government is - that is the people who we're supposed to trust to run our country. They are essentially gcses but made harder for no good reason
Like when in real life would you have to work out some scientific equation but not have the necessary formulas accessible? (Science)
Who really cares about the deeper meanings of lines in shakespeare?(English
Lit)
When in real life would someone ask you why there is a comma at this part of the sentence?(English Lang)
When in real life are you going to a country worth visiting where they
don't speak english?(MFL)
This is the kind of rubbish the

What'
s worse is no one actually knows how this new system works and year 11s 2017 are the guinea pigs who

Yes we are expected to toil and sweat and experience major stress over 11 subjects that are mostly

new gcses! We do this because we like
two torment teenagers as if they're not struggling already with puberty and all.
And oh yeah just to make things more confusing we're gonna grade you with numbers now, not letters
