B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Bring it on...and in my day, you didn't have 'modules' for A Levels, which meant you could do a draft version, get feedback from your teacher, then re-do it!!
No question were they harder in the old days. Let's see how far you get with your booklet of log tables eh?

Teenagers think everything is about them ...which is why we get this argument every year. There shouldn't even be an argument. The results have been getting better every year for the last 20 or so. This can only be explained by grade inflation.
Teenagers: no-one is saying you didn't work hard for your 10 A stars. But do you imagine that every year for the last 20, teenagers worked harder at school than the cohort directly preceding them? If that's the case, why has no-one noticed all this extra pressure?
I'll repeat that: we are criticising this phenomenon of grade inflation. NOT you. Stop sulking.
