If the results are bad, we want to know why.<BR/><BR/>The problem I have with them is that - as you said - a school devotes so much time and effort in to fine tuning for exams, that the pupils are not getting a rounded education for a few weeks. Having said that, I think on balance we are better off with them, than without them.Andrew Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001512586556659809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051458786304552571.post-90550404110288374992008-07-18T09:38:00.000+01:002008-07-18T09:38:00.000+01:00Well done to both the Womble juniors.

I don't think I had *real* exams until IGCSEs. I did common entrance to get into my secondary school and then end of year exams but apart from that, nothing. I think I got off quite lightly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
