A level results

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The criticism that can be laid at the Govt door is the fact that as soon as schools closed and there was no likelihood of reopening, AND the date of the A-Level grades was known back last September they have ended up with a fuckin' shambles.

No great surprise they’ve changed their mind on this. Independent schools scoring better than others based on an algorithm alone was never going to end well.

Algorithms always reflect the bias of the data that was inputted. The idea that an individual's grades could be determined by the average grades of their social circle over a number of years is just basically a formalized version of the class system. She's from a poor area, so she's probably a bit shitter at maths than little Tarquin. It's like those computer companies that are surprised when their fancy new AI robot turns out to be racist, because they've only fed it white faces and now it can't tell the difference between black people.

Anyway, it seems like the government eventually did the right thing. Let's be honest, anything that happens this year is going to be tainted anyway (#champions*).

Dont know what all the fuss is about...students with no idea going to uni, pissing it up the wall with no idea what they're going to do, then leaving and generally doing something totally irrelevant to the course they did. One of mine spent 3 years ' studying ' event managment just so she could organise weddings FFS. She's now doing OK in the insurance sector. If you're bright you'll do well in life, in general, if you're thick you wont, in general.

With a pandemic going on and soaring job losses between now and possibly next year, staying in education might be the best or more pragmatic option for most young people, more so than it would in normal circumstances. I think the idea of entering the job market at this time for an 18 year old could be rather difficult depending on what industry you’re in.

At least in my view. Others may differ on this and I suspect many will agree with your assessment.
