Yes, this is the risk if you hold cuckold parties.

I bet you charged for entry though, being an agent.

Good luck to all, have to give them some encouragement I guess. Scathing article about the whole process from an ex-head in the telegraph today.
ONLY fair way is to do the grades based on percentages (top 10% get A's, next 20% get B's etc , kin A*'s my arse) that way, any differences in the standard of the exam year to year are eliminated. Course - it's the next 2 steps that actually might mean something, if we had jobs for anyone but doctors...

But then the politicians wouldn't be able to boast that they're improving edjumakashun standards.

And on a more serious level, there is then no way to tell IF standards are better OR worse. Teaching methods are drastically different at primary school age than they once were, and it varies a great deal between countries too at what age kids start school.

Well, then you can pimp him out with out any ethical issues.
There is always a bright side.

Yeah fair if you go to a school that gives you teachers who are widely versed in the subject at hand.

In state secondary schools all teachers now have to have 2 subjects they can teach to under 16s. If you are a middling student you can very easily be assigned a teacher who is teaching their second subject so under that curve you would suffer.
