Just for clarity,I’m also from Wakefield.

as are many of my friends, just seems those two individuals have a halo and are beyond criticism or debate when the moderators get involved, RL Fans , should be LL fans, if you don't lean left you aren't allowed an opinion. Bullying, harassment is all OK, so long as you want the IRA, Hezbullah anti Jew crew in control. if I was an advertiser on here, I'd be pulling any spend.

people are dying, mistakes have been made and admitted, but all the lunatics can do is point fingers and live in joyous rhetoric of a failed ideology and 20:20 hindsight. But is says way more about their individual integrity than I ever could. Life seems to have been harsh enough to them as it is.

Have you ever tried arguing your point rather than falling back on your usual bile contained in every post. I will give you an opportunity to explain why you believe or even accept that the confusion and hurt caused by the education debacle is acceptable. We have students who grades were reduced because of the school and class size who have now missed out on their first choice universities.
What would you say to them because the government have not been able to come up with anything other than to try to blame others.
We all look forward to your reply without the usual left wing, go to Venezuela etc.

Something isn't right when kids get an A in their mocks, are predicted an A in their exams, but are given a C by an 'algorithm'.

I read about a girl sitting for A level German. She had spent 5 years in Germany, spoke it fluently and was not surprisingly graded A* by her teacher but under the algorithm this was reduced to a C .

Personally don't think this was a mess up based on the Tories having an agenda.
Think it was just a complete mess.
The home nations have their own control over education,Williamson only has jurisdiction over England.
Looks like all four nations(with different controlling assemblies across the political spectrum) adopted the same problematic algorithm.
Not an excuse for the algorithm,but putting into context that neither Tories/Labour/SNP or UUP saw this coming ??

Indeed, but that fact doesn't support the left agenda, hate and rhetoric of some posters on here, who probably struggle to even spell the 'A' in A levels. it is becoming a sadly apparent fact that this site is now merely another mouthpiece for the politics of hate and envy of the left, any comment to the contrary gets you warned, but it's OK for them to make personal attacks on you or I. They cannot accept the outcome of elections, they want us all to live in a Stalinist world, they have no desire to respect democracy, simply shout it down in their slippers and sip horlicks.

100% hindsight is their mantra, anything the ELECTED GOVERNMENT do is wrong, I meet these types all the time, no real purpose, no real meaning and certainly no worldy understanding, just the same old garbage.

Scrimpernell, Mange Cat, Queen street,typical examples of why the whole socialist ideal has been rejected by the MAJORITY. Never any ideas about what to do differently, just criticism of what anyone who isn't Labour does. It's embarassing to even walk the same earth as them.

It's like a live and exclusive breakdown.
The [i'hate and envy'[/i line churned out, seems mostly to apply to the plum who keeps employing it the most.
Regressive, dogmatic and emotionally bankrupt.

Are there any historical stats around to show that over the years students generally met their teachers predictive grades

it is certainly my experience that most do end up with the grades that where predicted,, but I can't find any statistics, so it's just my view based on experience.

At the trust where I work, we have a trust wide system which records the predicted grades of every kid, every term. Historical data is stored for as long as GDPR allows. It can be searched using multiple filters, to the point that you can see extremely specific data sets of predicted and historical grades.

I agree, nothing to do with them having an agenda, just abject incompetence.
Even the Tory press are appalled at the mis handling of this one.

The fact that it was kids from state schools that have come out of this worse, just gives the press and angle from which to write their articles.

As for no one seeing this coming, it beggars belief, it rally does

Cut out the petty name calling - it's not required.

You seem not to have any opinion on the actual subject but, seem to have a problem with ANYONE who doesnt share your politics.
Defending the indefensible isnt that great - it just makes you look desperate / daft

It's like sitting down with a beer on Christmas Eve, having bought no presents, then explaining to the wife and kids that you didn't see Christmas coming.
