If this board is anything to go by the English education system must be in a sorry state. Makes you glad we live in a well educated and civilised country. Discuss
It is true, the standard of education of our English friends is very poor. They can barely string words together let alone properly punctuate. <geordies>
To be fair neither can harryhood or superhoops but then again they are the same person. School system up here does appear to be better judging by this website and every other website I've ever visited that had any English people on it, they accuse the americans of destroying their language pfft.
The quality of the language of the English posters on here is dragged down by thick ****s like Huth and thefanthat'sruiningthisplace If there's an illiterate lot on here it has to be the irish <irishgreen>
Our education system has been heading downhill ever since O Levels were scrapped and league tables introduced. Year on year the exams have been made easier and often a big chunk of the overall mark will be based on coursework in which, with the help of the teacher, every pupil scores 90-100%. A Levels have been dumbed down to such an extent that some universities now make prospective candidates sit exams to find out if they are any good because 3 or 4 straight As at A Level means **** all these days. When I was a kid, 7% of the population went to university. Now it's 50%, that's the 7% of brightest kids and 43% of averagely intelligent kids doing courses that aren't worthy of the name "degree" at institutions that aren't worthy of the name "university". We can't afford to send 50% to university so now the state will no longer pay for it...who'd a thunk it?. What a mess.
Also were you aware that a Scottish bachelor degree is the equivalent of an honours from a non Oxbridge uni in England. <dunderheids>
Also, if the news is to be believed, English teachers are gettng the exam questions beforehand so they know what to teach the weans and what not to bother with. No surprise the English yoof are a thick bunch of rioting scum.
To be fair, England must have the most 'special schools' per population in the world. Also, geordie men are meant to be the best at multi tasking. They can shag a dog and type pish on forums at the same time.
