Well at least they want to pass lol.

Unlike the majority of British kids who hate school and are thick as 2 short planks.

That Indian school should be shut down.

There is an issue of motivation in many British schools and with many British pupils. Too many don't see the point of education. In poorer countries education is often the only route out of poverty and that's a powerful motivator to study.
I have seen the sacrifices parents and students make in poorer countries to get a "western" education. I wish more British pupils could see this as it might shake them from their educational torpor.

I was just trolling tbh.

What's the average pass mark of U.K. schools with watered down exams? 50%-60% possibly? Don't blame the schools blame the parents and lazy students.

We can't have everyone passing - someone has to do the rubbish the jobs.

Still think the Indian examiners are blind or paid off.

I thought that's how you get into your flat in India.

Bad door design, much too high.

Pass mark is an arbitrary line, too many pass it's too easy, too many fail they don't try enough

I don't understand. He seems to be criticising British kids and anyway even if he was criticising Indian kids, I can't see how you could accuse him of racism because didn't mention "black" or "Asian" or anything to do with skin colour or race, the discussion is about the Indian nationality. Would it have been different if the discussion had been about Hungarians or Canadians?

It's a funny photo, where's the supposed racism?

I'd be well impressed if our students were cheating like that, good moves! More seriously, cheating is widespread, and these tests are massively important for kids, so that makes even more cheating inevitable as they'd be punished for not cheating. And I thought all that had stopped when they caught Lance.

What would be the point of an exam that everyone passes. The point of exams is to differentiate people.

The line was more to do with the lame trolling, as after sweeping generalisation the next progression seems to be a bit of casual racism. Sometimes people read too deep into stuff

Surely the suggestion of racism is reading too deep or are casual accusations of racism now acceptable as responses to obvious trolling.
