I've been in an awesome mood since Sunday
and it suits me. It makes me eat more and motivates me to get stuff done.

What suits you and motivates you?

That said when i lived in Hull all of the schools retained a 0% 5-GCSE pass rate
That means that in none of the high schools did a pupil graduate with at least five subjects
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:39, Reply)

I don't know anything about GCSE subjects or tests but I'm fairly certain that I'd fail all

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:41, Reply)

At the end of manditory education in England
you take a test in each subject, if you pass you are awarded a General Certificate of Secondary Education. The pass is graded (A,B,C..etc) like a normal test.
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:45, Reply)

yeah but if no one passed all of them how do they graduate?

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:47, Reply)

You arent required to attend school after age 16
you just leave. You use the marks you get for your GCSE exams to apply for further study or jobs
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:50, Reply)

The GCSE's are graded
from A-G, with U being the equivalent of a fail.
A-C is considered the grades to aim for, but if you get anything other than a U you're still considered passed.
We don't have official graduation in the UK, and if you do fail your GCSE's you have the option of going to 6th form (like a junior college) to re-take them, or find a job.

Two students I graduated with were in relationships with english teachers

And that's
why I'm unedumecated.

I went to Newland, it was a bit better than most.

Yup!
Newland School for Slags, as it was known then!

We've got our first rainy day
in ages. I'm loving it, but it means everyone forgets how to drive.
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:13, Reply)

Does that mean that there are massive tailbacks
because one guy is driving at 12mph on the motorway 'cause he fears that the scarybadwater will cause him to aquaplane and get killed to death?
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:15, Reply)

Yes,
and on the other end of the scale are the "manly men" who think that by driving faster on a slick road the can in someway prove their penis size.
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 19:33, Reply)

Thats silly
perhaps they were too drunk to think otherwise
