I don't think anyone can argue against you on this Niamh - honestly. The institutional Church - especially the Roman Catholic have been responsible for some of the biggest iinjustices throughout the centuries.
NO child should ever be 'graded' on ANYTHING except their ability and perhaps inclination to learn.
This is something I did not know and it is disgusting.
