Hi guys if any of you are interested, could you please sign this petition? Please don't forget to confirm your email address in order for your signature to count!!!

Please dont sign this petition. Lots of people have worked so hard during lockdown and teachers dont really know about this when making their predictions. They just go off the data they have. These exams are the chance for students to get the grades they deserve. You're not the only person who has been affected by the virus, EVERYONE has! Some people just give up now and don't put any effort in just because they think by signing these petitions exams will be cancelled. I don't understand why people are making such a fuss. I understand how we have missed so much but theres other ways to make our lives easier e.g. shorter exams etc.

My achieved A levels were higher than my predicted A levels

Actually, students missed March; April; May; June and July. Many schools/students missed even more then that due to self isolating and closure due to COVID cases.While you make a valid point by questioning whether people stopped revising, it’s important to note that not everyone has the ability to properly educate themselves at home. Many do not have internet, don’t have computers, textbooks, aren’t being given adequate work by their teachers or are grieving the loss of someone close to them due to the pandemic. Even without those issues, many students will struggle. A busy home is not an appropriate place to study, especially without support of any kind. There are numerous distractions, and if a student is financially struggling then there is no way they will be able to afford to buy all the equipment they need or pay for additional tutoring to keep themselves up to date. They’ve already missed 1/4 of the syllabus without considering how many have self isolated or how many schools have been shut down - it’s quite obvious that you do not understand that.

not to mention, my college hasn't decided to go over content learned in lockdown and even the new content we learn in lessons, we are expected to have pre-read and learnt it so that we only go over it briefly in lessons and over the difficult concepts. not sure why we do this in college but i hate it. is that even classed as teaching because i don't learn f*ckawl from it.

Same same same same.

glad to know i'm not the only one at least

And let me tell u even more.. apparently by mid feb we would have finished all of the a level content, thanks to rushed lessons

bro EXACTLY. they literally had enough time to teach us properly and potentially even get through the missed content in lockdown. but no, clearly that's not an option

They made us do 4 modules which are usually taught in year 13 and we had to do them whilst we're in year 12. Tbh i feel like even the teachers are fed up.

wait what how? what subject was this for? and i feel sorry for them too but they have to do their job with the thought that exams are gonna continue so, fed up or not, it's our grades at stake.

some moderator pls delete this thread lol.... don't want this petition to be promoted.
