My 16 year old has just been cheated and I am wondering if I want my 14 year old to begin a GCSE course that is overseen by an examining body that is clearly untrustworthy. It is not just the grade boundaries that have been changed this year. Marks that were awarded for controlled assessments, marks that were awarded by the teacher and then moderated and agreed by the examining bodies have been changed. Surely this is fraud? Grade inflation is a problem created by the adults not the children. Why are we penalising the children for our mistakes? These children worked hard in good faith. Please sign the petition (link below) and pass it on to every fair minded person you know. The children have been cheated, they have been lied to and Mr Gove has some serious questions to answer. That is of course when he can be found.
