The Fish 9340 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think the exam standards are the same, but the teachers are so terrified of failing to meet targets they will hand-hold kids through them. I'd up the amount of coursework and certainly get rid of MCQs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coursework is being banned left right and centre because all kids do nowadays is copy and paste off the net There is even a proffesional dissertation writing service that will write you a paper on any subject up to how much you want to pay for. Ironically staffed by students and recent graduates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to check if kids are copying and pasting off the net, if the nose-picker who sits at the back of the class and throws rolled up snot at the girls in front suddenly starts quoting Descarte.. you know somethings up.

University administrators came out and stated it as fact not long ago. and yes, I recently had the opportunity to see current and past A-level Physics papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you used to do like? I quoted Jung tbh I maintain that it's not that the exams have become staggering in their simplicity, more that the whole path that education takes is to ensure pupils pass exams. As an aside, I'd wager IB pupils have a better education than those that take A-Levels, a better grounding in life as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Steve_Howey 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 IB? Theyr'e not getting staggeringly simple, the rates are only going up a few percent a year, But when you look over ten years it's obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9340 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 International Baccalaureate http://www.ibo.org/ It's an alternative to the A-Levels, last years top performing private school uses them, as did the top performing state school. Obviously a fair number of private schools who use A-Levels performed to a highwer standard than the state school, and the state school in question is in a nice area of England and whose cachement area isn't likely to include many council estates. The point remains though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 So you think you can sit and home and alternate between sleep and masturbation? would apply to my days off. On the subject of teaching, I'd love to pitch a reality TV show to C4 with 10 sets of parents and their children. The kids do a set of exams from their parents' time, and the parents take some modern exams. Until that happens, the whole, 'it was easier in my day' statement is unverifiable.
