We are officially in reverse, they will bring back grammar schools and secondary moderns for those unfortunates not to pass their 11+ next.

I was in the first year to do GCSE's but not all the year was allowed to sit them you were allocated a 'band', G band sat GCSE and C band CSE.

I have always felt sorry for the one's not given the opportunity to sit GCSE as all employers now require A-C grades at GCSE.
Therefore, won't going back to that system just churn out lots of people who are simply unemployable?

Before we know it, all unfortunates will be back in the workhouses :rolleyes:

I'm still of the opinion that the powers that be are trying to weedle out those not worthy of being part of the new world order society.

Basically - it's a nice way of "cleansing" society!

Thats not what I asked, what trade allows you to work with only a basic grasp of literacy and numeracy?

They'd be better off trying to improve the system that most people are familiar with rather then creating a new one that will take more time and resources to perfect. It sounds like a recipe for disaster.

If they bring in the curfew laws nationally, and quickly - they may not have a need to discriminate amongst them, as those who don't excel might find that they do if they get the correct amount of sleep each night, and aren't hanging round the streets :joker:
