My son returned to year 11 a week ago and found out the school are running their official mock GCSE exams mid October, I was gobsmacked. With all the different rates of learning over lockdown how will this be fair? My son did fuck all work, I encouraged, supported, and then nagged but nothing worked and he did not do the work set online by the school.
There was no interactive learning, no zoom or google classrooms they were just expected to get on with it all.
I’m sure some did and they will do well in the mocks but it seems very premature to be doing them so soon. The results will be used as a basis for recommended grading by the teachers (as exams could be cancelled again!) as well as for college applications.
The school is also concerned about their well being!
Has anyone else got this happening now?
