The elephant in the room here is that kids in deprived areas should be marked down as they would normally get poorer exam results than the rich/privileged kids. Opportunity and education in Scotland are just as class/wealth driven as elsewhere. The teachers probably over estimated predicted grades as giving everyone an A is the easy way out - also not really fair to use results from mocks. Most of us arse around and do poorly in mocks, which gives us the kick up the arse to pull our fingers out for the real thing.
No perfect solution, but I'd either make every kid repeat the year or sit the papers (exam conditions are socially distanced) and award grades as per normal percentiles.
Tough on kids though - a year is like a lifetime for a 16-18 yr old and will feel like the world's longest detention. I'd certainly like my two (below exam age) to repeat the year as I'm not sure the last four months of fucking around on the xbox and watching netflix constitute an education.Those needing results for Uni and future careers can always resit or retake the year, i know i would.
Many wont give a fuck as they get all they needed and the rest certainly give a shit as they have no intention of further education anyway.

That is a more sensible option than what has happened. I don't know how much of the curriculum has been missed since March but the exam could have taken account of that. All too late but an example of the 'kick the problem down the road' mentality that seems to pervade politics. They have had since March to come up with something a damn sight better than this no-win debacle.The elephant in the room here is that kids in deprived areas should be marked down as they would normally get poorer exam results than the rich/privileged kids.

Is anyone supporting Brexit guilty of anti European bullshit?
Some seem to struggle.Anti-EU bullshit they are, it's not hard to extricate Europeans from the EU.

It really depends what definition you google. I prefer this from The Cambridge Dictionary:Nationalism by definition is love of one’s country at the expense of the other.
And we're happy to proclaim we're delighted you fucked off to Scotland.whereas I’m happy to proclaim that the majority of English people are bellends,
I find it funny how nationalism is a total negative for nearly every person until it boils over into Scottish Nationalism.It really depends what definition you google. I prefer this from The Cambridge Dictionary:
a nation's wish and attempt to be politically independent
a great or too great love of your own country:
