THREAD: Ok, let’s see if I got this right. In 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 the sqa system downgrades exam results. Teachers and pupils are distraught and protest. Although there was already in existence a FREE appeal process the @scotgov take seriously the concerns and look more closely 1/5
They decide that it probably wasn’t the best system and the @ScotGovFM stands up and publicly acknowledges this, speaking directly to the young people affected. The education minister @JohnSwinney acknowledges, apologises and rectifies it in a way that seems to work for most 2/5
As far as I know most teachers and pupils accept this and appreciate it (obviously anecdotal). Then labour Tories and lib dems (the unionist parties) say how terrible and instigate a vote of no confidence in @JohnSwinney. Then English and Welsh results come out. 3/5
It’s an even bigger fiasco and causing at least as much distress and concern. Scottish Labour, Tories and Lib dems just shrug 🤷🏻‍♀️. Is that about right? Shameless @RuthDavidsonMSP @LabourRichard and whoever else. You don’t care about the young people involved at all. 4/5
I feel so angry that a man who seems to me to have integrity and really care about the young people in our education system was put through this by these hypocrites. Shame upon them. #DissolveTheUnion The End (for now)
