I was joking btw, I don't have anything against kids big or small.

Sorry, I was just getting into rant mood and it's a massive situation for me as I feel sometimes older generations don't understand how hard school can be sometimes. I know they had stricter punishments, but I've only just managed to convince my dad how bad and unhealthy constant testing is, especially when all of your free time over weekends is either spent up revising, helping around the house or doing other things that you don't want to do.

Sorry for the massive paragraphs

There's been no corporal punishment for a long time, when I was at high school the worst punishment was detention you had to do something really bad to be excluded even for one day. To me it seems stricter now with things like isolation and getting sent home for having the wrong shoes or length of trouser :/
I bet your dads heart bleeds for you as he sets off at the beginning of his 48hr week at work

Tbf to him he works from 8-6 Monday to Friday, and 9-12 weekends doing hard, manual work but when he was at school there wasn't as many things we have now, like GCSE's for example.

There were exams and teachers prior to 1988

I know that, but not GCSE's in their current form and I think it's only getting harder.

Personally I think O levels were harder, I was in the first year to sit GCSEs in 88 and the work we did was easier than the stuff we'd done in middle school at 11-12 with the old O level textbooks.

Education has changed since then... The GCSEs are getting ramped up in difficulty and it's going to be HELL for year 10s. Thank **** I was born in 2000:

My mum was in your year too, but she said that marking was crap so they had to nationally change the mark schemes or something? I mean my year are the lab rats for the 1-9 grading system and I hate it.
