“The consequences of receiving a poor or inadequate education in later life are that the young people denied an adequate education are unlikely to achieve recognised qualifications and more likely to turn to crime or substance abuse.”

A good chunk of children in my school had managed that before they’d got anywhere near GCSEs.

Yes I read the contactpoint bit and thought WTF! How do they manage to figure that out exactly!

Considering that a lot of private schools do iGCSEs, I wonder how many MPs, judges etc. have got 5 good GSCEs?

Funny how they’ve refused to put a figure on SAOs. 0.05% ha ha ha! Especially when they are planning to issue one as a matter of course if they find an ‘unregistered’ HEer.

Excellent post, even though I feel sick.

8 hours - I suppose that allows enough time for a couple of written papers? (poor joke, I hope)

It is beyond dreadful. In fact, they even know it is. They are deliberately bullying us as spitefully as possible in the hope we will then accept a watered down version at some point.

I don’t think so. I haven’t seen one thing here that wouldn’t be detrimental to the life my children have. Not one crumb of benefit anywhere.

I echo everything you have said. I feel sick reading the document. They don’t care about our children they just want worker ants marching to the governments beat.

What about the children at school who are receiving a poor education? All the druggies and drunks around here are school educated, and most of them end up on the dole. My children are having a better start in life and have big plans for when they grow up. They are happy and well adjusted, the government want to beat that out of them

Bastards the lot of them!
