I have been thinking a lot recently about the stress caused by not only A Levels, but GCSEs and also exams in general. I believe the education system in the UK is flawed in a few ways. The main flaw is the fact that there are simply too many exams. With GCSEs, then AS Levels and then A Levels students are placed under a huge amount of pressure to work three years in a row. All the exams leads to more homework which places students under even more stress. Surely it's more important to develop social qualities than to sit isolated and alone working for an hour and a half each night? I'm basically wondering if anyone feels like the whole education system is completely screwed up and thinks that teenagers these days are put under too much pressure.
