I have a 16 year old niece who has just done her GCSE's she got a D in maths, her mum (my sister) has a 1 year old and a 2 year old, now my niece has helped bring these babies up, which in my opinion does give her experience, she wants to go into childcare, yet can't because of her maths grade.....ridiculous!
And she must really love kids as she's living with babies!

Yeah, like I said in my previous post I really think it's a vocation, working with kids or the most vulnerable members of our society and there should be more thought put into how they rate peoples suitability for those type of jobs. The education system (certainly here in Ireland anyway) is far too focused on academics I think for jobs that should be looking in different areas then Maths or English results
