We will be in touch
As a teacher saying goodbye to my A level students today, 😥 8) as they go on exam leave, I'd thought I'd set you an exam-style question:
"Aspiration, it seems, is in danger of becoming the preserve of the wealthy."
(a) Who said this today? (2 marks)
(b) To what extent do you agree with the above statement? (20 marks)
I will mark you responses as quickly as I can. You get more marks if you agree with my view, or are persuasive enough to 'turn me' (ooo-err missus)
(a) There was some 'working class' comedian on R4 on wed night who said that. (Exam 101 - if you can't answer the question posed, answer a similar one 🙂 )

Well worth listening too!
(b) Dunno, he interviewed someone on the above link, who had an interesting response to the question of why the working class continuously appear to fail themselves.
(a) you did, just then
(b) I agree a lot
Can I have my marks please?
Bloody hell, I could type all day in answer to (b). I won't, but I could.
Can I have my marks please?
You get a 'D' for trying to be a smart arse 😉
Truck right off! Asking me pi55ing questions on the last day of school!
DingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDing
<whaaaay that's the fire alarm I just set off>
Anyone up for streaking across the cricket pitch??
You lot are pigging useless!
No correct answer to (a) which is Ian Duncan-Smith, and pathetic attempts for (b).
Exam leave is cancelled for the lot of you! I expect to see you back here tomorrow!
Master Yeti come back here now! Get your shirt back on!!
Now where's that (non-marking) slipper gone???
You have slippers for when you are marking exams and also some non-marking slippers?
Teachers are obviously paid too much these days.
a: No idea
b: Not at all
(a) which is Ian Duncan-Smith
b)I disagree. Unfortunately he was judging Aspirations based on what he thought people should aspire to rather than what they do aspire to.
