This A Level situation is absolutely sickening
The fact that moderation is aggregated against class size, and most private schools have such small classes that they don& #39;t fit the algorithm so won& #39;t be moderated down is no & #39;accident of the system& #39;. If private schools provided no privilege, people wouldn& #39;t pay for them
The stories arising of exceptional students (most frequently at state schools) missing their grades, despite stellar mocks/predicted grades is appalling. It appears there& #39;s almost no metric for adjustment beyond the government deciding certain schools should shift and others not
I& #39;m not necessarily saying this whole A Level down-grading situation was a deliberate & #39;fixing& #39; but even the fact that the algorithm is an & #39;oversight& #39; that benefits the more fortunate tells you everything you need to know about the government& #39;s regard for poor people& #39;s education
A horrible, horrible situation https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1294031847719088128?s=20">https://twitter.com/lewis_goo...
