As someone facing a near identical situation to the blogger in the link, that is an excellent assessment of what our family is facing. I went through school as an exam taker and was did a lot better at O levels than I would have done at GCSEs. We need a lot more flexibility in the education system. Frustratingly there are ministers in the current government who have excellent understanding of the issues involved (John Timpson for one) but the DfE gets to keep pushing this rubbish.
I'm going to use that as the title of my autobiography.
Outstanding blog.
Perfectly sums up many of the problems of the modern education system.
