Imagine what it was like for us oldies when we waited for our A level results. People actually used to fail them or get poor grades like D and E in those days.

If you got 3 A grades though the local paper came round to your house and photographed you. Nowadays they'd need a special pull out supplement if they did that.

Its not our fault if we are the clever generation!:)

Unfortunately Urmston is quite right, now i'm a member of this clever generation before people say I am biased (just finished 1st year at uni). When an A grade becomes too easy to achieve that they need to introduce an A* grade at A-Level there is some serious "dumbing down" going on.

Anyway good luck to all of you I know the feeling! ;-)

Students get poor grades, anybody above a certain age complains of low education standards and scream about who is going to be running the country when they are pensioners.

Students get good grades, anybody above a certain age complains that the exams are too easy, and scream about who is going to be running the country when they are pensioners.

Thus, the circle of hypocrisy is complete.

Clarkson said it best when he commented that his kids got better grades than him because they were probably smarter than him at the same age. You'd be surprised how clever kids are now that the internet has made information freely available twenty four hours a day, without the need for the checking in/out process of libraries. Thanks to the internet, I was able to read research papers from a very clever lady at the University of Auckland, which I used in my dissertation.

Now if we could only free up the IEEE archives (and the like of), they'd be set. £25 a paper is scandalous when you are doing research and you want to check a primary source.
