What I would like to know is now Ofqual have made a decision about the English Language GCSE , when and where will the Schools allow the students who have had to leave their School, retake the English Language GCSE that AQA have so 'generously' agreed to allow them to do in November 2012 for free? Will they get a recall back to School, or will there be a center for them to go to? There is not one teacher at the School where my teenager attended to offer a crumb of support A message on the website would be a good start. At the moment the students are in limbo and are floundering not knowing what to do next. I have noticed that none of the 'politicians' have put their heads above the parapet over this debacle!

Do badly, and you're under immense pressure because adults tell you that you need the right A levels, the right degree, the right job. If you do well, adults then tell you that exams are too easy (and Gove changes the goalposts mid-season). I hope Theresita goes on to achieve great things and has lots of fun doing so.
