In the news today:
Michael Gove, the Education Secretary that hardly anyone likes...including me, has proposed a new idea to the eduction system to the media (I know, another one? He doesn't do it often does he?...-_-) So for those who aren't aware of the change that he wants to the system or if you don't know what it means or whatnot.. Here is a quick summary for you all...hey; I might even learn something as well! - So O-Level's are bascially harder exams...yeah, because that's going to sink down well with teachers and students...as if they aren't hard enough already man :/
I personally don't see anything wrong with the way GCSE's are planned and delivered in the classroom. From my own experience and hearing about everyone else's, it seems to be working fine. Sure, you get people who say 'ooh they're easy now', 'you can cheat on the internet', 'everyone can get the same grade'. Well...and what? No, they aren't easy...something being easy is very subjective and is down to each individual so don't be so silly! No, you can't cheat as there is this little word with consequences and that's called 'plagiarism' and those studying currently or who have done their GCSE's will know this word like a best friend...you can't get anything through this system. And everyone can get the same grade? Not really...
If you do wanna read an article on it rather than my gobbledegook then say the magic words and go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-18529471
Take care and talk soon! xx
