AQA

Today's award for Buffoonery goes to keen Gary Glitter fans, and Tram Timetable enthusiasts; the AQA.

Unfortunately they forgot to check that the options on their Answer Sheet matched the questions on this morning's Science Multiple Choice Paper.

Anybody who fancies earning a bit of spare cash for marking a hundred thousand or so of these papers should give them a call.

The nu labour mantra - everybody is entitled to awards and qualifications even if they don't mean a thing.

Success is only valid if you have to work hard and stretch yourself to achieve it - that's why our "academic" qualifications are becoming less and less valid.

By the by, had a parents' evening for students doing their GCSEs this year. 2 parents turned up, both to see how their hard working and well-behaved (and thus achieving) off-spring were doing. Did not get to see the ones who could do with some motivation from home

Wonder why?
