Pleased with plans for next GCSEs and A'Levels 2021

[Blanketyblankblankety]

It's really nice to know what's actually going to happen now and do away with all the uncertainty that's been hanging over 2021 exams. I think the plans seem pretty good and am so pleased DC are actually going to be able to sit the exams.

It does help. But the cynic in me wonders which teachers are going to sign up to mark exams this year . Exams in July means marking over the summer holiday. I do wonder if Gavin is aware that teachers mark exams !

I am glad too but seems others don't feel the same...hard to keep everyone happy I guess. DS gets extra time as well so altogether should help quite a bit.

I think kids needs the specifics before we can judge if this is good or bad. How much could they really cut without affecting the next stage of study in that subject? Which formulas? What happens if the makeup date can't be made too?
