Oh yeah, like we're meant to learn from them. the entire system is geared up for passing exams.
This article should just be titled "12 things that schools encourage" honestly it's so generic.

rlly useful stuff - the thing about not abandoning ur life tho, my parents dont get it like i wasn't allowed into town with my friend today because they said i have to spend all my time revising. like it's still christmas and she's still my friend and we need to swap presents and being stuck in the house all day sucks i honestly dont understand them, studying and being with friednds is actually really helpful

This is very helpful and encouraging as I stress a lot over exams, however I procrastinate a lot too! I set goals to do my best and itβs fine if Iβm not perfect all the time but Iβll probably not even end up using these!

But as for your first statement, there's not much that can be done. The world is becoming competitive. If British students wanna give the Asian kids a competition, they need to suck it up. We only do 3 A levels here. When I stayed in Seoul (my dad's an expat), each of the Korean kids did 5-6 A level subjects (and if you know Asians, you'd know their obsession with STEM) and among the 30 or so Korean kids in my year, there were exactly 6 who did not get ateast 2 A* Not a single one got below a B. There's a reason why Chinese, Indians, Koreans and Japanese (especially Indians and Chinese) immigrants are so successful.
Up until 5 years ago, British kids were seriously lacking behind. The situation has improved now though.

I agree with your second second, the article's kinda pointless.

Define "successful" This is a generalisation given how culturally subjective the concept of "success" is....
Sorry if it sounds like i'm ranting but to sum it up tldr: grades aren't that important
