Get back the old GCSE system

Anyone agree that we should revert back to the old GCSE system?
I mean get rid of the 9-1 and resume with the A/B/C system. Leave the numbers for the IB.
Why? It makes sense to seperate the A*s into 8s and 9s as lots of people where getting A*s, and now theres a bigger difference.

Also, now theres a difference between just passing and getting a C.
how about make the courses as easy as they were before?
