Is anyone else frustrated by this? My school accepts students into the 6th form who are not really academically able enough to do A Levels. I understand why and it's to do with funding and bums on seats but as the course progresses, and these poor students flounder around getting Us and Es in assessments, I feel a) angry on their behalf that they have not been encouraged to go and do something more suitable and b) frustrated that I am expected to find some magic resources which will suddenly turn students from Es to Cs - and to dumb the lessons down while still making sure that other students can get their A grades.
I understand how to differentiate but surely there comes a point when we should be saying that some students are unsuitable for A Level?
