    Talking New Maths Tests for Comprehensives

    For the unaware, there is a slight difference between private schools and comprehensives in Britain. The Department of Education has realised this and has revised the secondary Maths Exam papers accordingly.
    Attached are the most recent maths exam papers for your reference.

    No one cuts cocanie with strychnine, unless they are trying to murder people outright, wich is bad bussiness (no return customers).

    If it takes you 20 seconds to load your AR, you obviously do not have the manual dexterity to fire the weapon anyway.

    What i would do is put the teachers in for the School exams and see how they do, and if the get below 90% they should lose there job.

    I think if they have pupils getting nearly 100% its a pretty safe bet that the teachers could, since they're teaching them what they need to know for the exams.

    Maybe i just went to a particularly well taught "comprehensive" (we just have private and non private schools here, no fancy names) school, with particularly intelligent teachers, for that i am thankful

    Exactly, they should, but i mean for all schools the teachers should have to do the same exams as the pupils. as in theory they should get 100% but if they are getting below 90% then they are obviously teaching the pupils the wrong thing or they are just a bunch of forest gumpers.
