For some students this would be much better than expecting them to achieve a C, foundation GCSE is a joke.

I think maths does need a good shake up more than the other two. I might have learnt a lot of theoretical stuff through my years of being taught in it, but I didn't learn anything practical about taxes or financial stuff? That's everyday, must have stuff. It's a mystery to me as to why the maths side of the curriculum at GCSE doesn't go near it at all..
