Who’d have predicted that, eh?
I think that there is a certain mean-spiritedness at work here, though. So forty-five per cent of people who took Maths managed an A? Well, in Maths, you can be spectacularly right (or spectacularly wrong). And plenty of the necessary teacher attention is now available. Since hardly anyone now takes A-level Maths. That is the problem. Not the number of A grades.

There is nothing else to it.

ReplyDeleteIf you were a regular reader, then you would know that no one is more critical than I of falling standards. But hardly anyone takes A-level Maths these does. And you can be stunningly right in Maths. So forty-five per cent As is perfectly explicable.
