Thing is though, they're still at it. I had to sit GCSE maths in November last year
to get onto the course I'm doing. A lot of it was common sense and working out train timetables, temperatures and so on. But a fuckton of it was stuff that I've never used before and will never use again.

GCSE Maths
I have a friend who's going through the hell that is GCSE maths at the moment and who sent me a text message last week saying "what's the line of best fit"?

Part of me is uber-impressed that statistics is finding its way into the workings of GCSE maths. Another part of me, regrettably, is looking at something as esoteric as the line of best fit and spanging.

I thought that was clear?
I failed it in high school, but my university let me in on the strength of my interview, so I didn't need to resit until I started a course that required maths, science and English at GCSE level.
