Ds says the final question was a statement that people should be famous for their work and achievements as opposed to for being good looking and behaving badly and they were writing in response to the statement.
Ds knows a fair bit about love island and the Khardashians (we’re very low brow I’m afraid) but didn’t write about any celebrity in particular. He wrote that in general the bad behaviour was a by product of the effects of fame and that these people were only famous because the general public made them so, so if people don’t like them being famous they should re-examine themselves and their actions.
I think it was a great question which didn’t require any knowledge of Kim, Khloe and co but gave an easy “in” for lower ability students whilst allowing higher ability students to have fun with it in many different ways. Also v topical with all tge media coverage of the 2 recent suicides of past Love Islanders - the effect of throwaway celebrity on fragile mental health.
Many years ago I scribed for a student in this exam- the question was to write a speech outlining why you should be elected to the school council. The student had communication difficulties, very low self esteem and was from a home where people didn’t sit around chatting about current affairs. They sobbed for an hour and told me they didn’t know what to say as they couldn’t imagine ever doing this. They wrote maybe two sentences. All that exam did was make them feel even more worthless. Something like this would at least give them a way in.
Edexcel Biology ds didn’t think he answered the 2 6 markers brilliantly but otherwise not too bad.

Well done all the dc for getting this far whatever the results you should all be celebrated
