I'm sort of torn with this. I think that ultimately everyone should be required to leave school with a basic standard of education, especially in English, but unless you actually go on to further education in Maths, or go into a field where maths is essential, like engineering, then it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference to my life if I'd ended up with an F.

Although I wouldn't have been able to correct Jakes basic errors.
