Gcse Results Day
Other
I hate the education system. The longer I'm working in it, the more I hate it and the more I see it's broken. The more I see we are failing kids. I failed all mine cos i can't do exams. I'm not thick. I can tell you about the subject in great details before and for a couple of years after just not the day of the exam as I fall apart. My brother will read it the week of the exam memorise it and pass to the point he is in the top per cent of pass marks. Can't tell you a thing about it the subject after
I agree. My education was severely interrupted in my teens by travelling to Australia and then back home again. I have loved and learned history my whole life and I know it sounds boastful but I probably know a lot more than the average history teacher. However, there is no opportunity for me to pass on that knowledge and I get very frustrated sometimes.
I never felt pressured in exams. But I have never felt that intelligence is judged by what exams you have passed anyway. It's just that academia of this world do not give intelligent people with few or no qualifications a chance.
It's bad how many kids suffer because of exams I think it's way too much for some kids I didn't do my gcse because I couldn't cope with them down to the fact I was struggling and teachers did nothing found out when I was 32 Im dyslexic
Leannexxx where I am primary school s don't acknowledge dyslexia. It's left to secondary schools which is so wrong
Jerseydrew yes it's definitely wrong in fact I think the whole school system is wrong my niece has been diagnosed with autism this is after years of the school saying there is nothing wrong with her ,her mum had to fight for everything
It isn’t the best way to test intelligence and those results follow 16 year olds for many years to come. I’m glad there are more paths for kids nowadays
jms19 I know. I was told I'd never get an office job because i didnt have English or maths. Laughed at the women who said it as I was working in an office and I'd 2 office jobs
Its a very outdated system and the curriculum really needs a major shake up IMO! The world has changed significantly and we need education to change with it otherwise we are setting our children up to fail
