oh dear: Teachers say no-one should 'fail'

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Maybe it ain't so important really. It fits in with the society they will live in. Since we have abandoned the natural law, viz failure=starvation, and ultimately doomed the human race in so doing, we might just as well massage the egos of the worthless. Next to filling their faces, it is pretty cheap.bloggoth

I seem to remember my O levels where no one could fail.
Grade were A,B,C,D,E,F and U (unclassified).
I got 10 O levels. I only ever mention the ones grade C and above as everyone (including me) sees the rest as failures.
All they will succeed in doing is to force employers and Unis to ask different question, no longer how many GCSEs, but How many GCSE A*s did you get.
If you got graded A-F, etc, then you did GCSEs, not GCE "O" levels - they were graded 1-6 (pass), 7 (marginal fail - eligible for a resit in the Summer hols), 8 & 9 (bog off and don't waste my time) - pass mark was 40% for a grade 6. Apparently a Grade 6 "O" level is equivalent to a low-end Grade "C" at GCSE, and the lower GCSE grades are equivalent to the old CSE grades 1 to 6.Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh

A-C were passes, anything after that just told you how badly you failed.Comment

Mine were done in 1971/1972 - all GCE's and numeric grades - Oxford and Cambridge board (now part of OCR, I think), apart from Physics, which was Nuffield. CSE's were numeric, and "A" levels were alphabetic. Could be dependant on the exam board, but everybody I've ever spoken to from that period had numeric grades. Mind you, I can't even remember what most of my grades were, as they didn't print them on the certificate - we got separate notification, which I lost years ago. I remember got grade 1 in Physics and Grade 6 in Latin, but the rst is a bit of a blur.Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh

Lettered GCEs were passes from A to E, F was a failure and U was Unclassified.
Numeric GCEs were passes from 1 to 6 (I think). I don't know how they classified failures.Comment
