GCSE's

[Frutos]

Bonjour.

Bonjour to you too.

I always enjoyed doing Languages at school, so I chose to do German (Guten Tag ) as well as French when I picked my GCSE options.

I think the only GCSE I got less than a C in was Resistant Materials, but our whole class failed that one as we had supply teachers for all but 2 weeks of the 2 year course (our supposed regular teacher had a breakdown) and so we all went into the exam without a chance of even understanding the questions much less knowing the answers to any of them.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Bloody cheek!

I meant that you're wise beyond your years, of course..

 

[Frutos]

I'm still bitter at being 1 mark off an A* in my German!

You can probably let it go now.

Were they written on a slate with a piece of chalk in those days?

 

[Dandyman]

Pah ! What ever happened to GCE, CSE and for those of us that went to Lewes Priory the ROSLA kids building a boat each year ?

Not quite slate but blackboards not whiteboards.

And the school computers were 5 bbc computers that took 3 weeks to load a game 5 computers between 1,400 pupils.

My primary school still had them when I went there, lol. My favourite was "Rescue", which was a text adventure game when you had to recover a sword, shield, magic key etc...

You are in the GRAVEYARD. You can go LEFT, RIGHT or FORWARD etc...

I'd love to be able to find it and play it now, just for old time's sake.

Yes.

*waits for punchline*

I can't get on ebay at work but i would imagine you should be able to find it somewhere?

Snoopers paradise had a load of old games in there a little while ago!

 

[Chicken Run]

Did you get what you wanted/were expecting?

Can't believe it's been 8 years since I got mine.

Cant believe it's 22 years since I got my poulrty O LEVEL in desighn ceramics and a smatering of CSE's

I dont like the way the figures are produced for Pass rates, it gives a false sense of sucess, and what is judged to be sucess really isnt.

I guess we are like that in sporting terms.

You here things like 98% pass rate, and you think that the school has done really well. But pass means grades A-E, so a 98% rate could be 97% of students getting a D or E and 1 person getting an A-C, but the school is still deemed a SUCESS.

By lowering the standard of sucess to something so low, it doesnt set up the kids well for the future.

Pass rates should be based on A-C grades, at least sucess can have a little bit of respect

To get into any college in worthing to do A-level you need 5 A-C's.
