Just a rant really!

As a tutor had a copy of the paper and they can't tell how many children might have seen it. DD was nervous enough before the first one and she will have to miss my sister's wedding. I am not happy!

(but I suppose its fairer than doing nothing...)

This happned last year, and our local girls grammer, (its not in North London is it)girl came out and said mummy that was easy I done that paper yesterday with my tuter, they all had to resit and the paper was much harder. the apeals went mad after, Im sorry for you and your dd as its not fair but it does prove what I thought along that its a pure farce, how many times has this happned without being found out, the system is just not fair its alot to do with what tuter you have been too that has been a well known fact in my area for years.

That's pretty dreadful. Mind you, she'll have done it in exam conditions now and this time it might be easier?
