Dozers thread is shit and populated by wankers like Captain Placid
So lets instead talk about A Level results day. They say that the grades won't go up this year because the exam boards were given different guidance.

Is this unfair on the poor little poppets who just want to get into Uni to spunk 3 years of mum and dads money up the wall, or is it a sensible decision to improve educational standards in this country?

Or, without changing the way schools actually teach subjects, is mucking around with the grading process just so much hot air?

Alright Al,
can i call you Al?
I'm not sure i give a shit about what some snotty eighteen year old pricks do with their lives. As long as the University system is the way it is, and companies still place the weight on degree level education that they do (although this is changing slowly) people will clamour to get in to any university. You could 3 C's, get a shit university, get a shit degree, put degree on CV, done. It all seems to be a bit of a farce.

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:34, Reply)
Okay here's a thought, I'm just putting it out there.
You may not really care what any particular snotty 18 year old does with their life, but as a whole our society does depend on young people becoming educated, getting jobs and paying their taxes. So, if their education standards are dropping, they are less likely to be able to take on well paid jobs in an increasingly technological world, and therefore tax revenues will fall, leading to a vicious circle where we are unable to compete on a global scale.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:38, Reply)
true,
but we also need a raft of people to work the phones in the call centres of our new technologically advanced world. And even those phone monkey companies want a degree in something.

The system is no good as it is, but i have no idea what to do to it.
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:41, Reply)
The exam boards are in competion with each other, the schools are too.
Of course the results will show an improvement, due to market forces. It is unfair on the kids that have to take the courses and do the exams just to be unemployed. But, seeing as I don't have kids, and flunked my A levels, I don't care.
(I helped save b3ta! Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:34, Reply)
A levels are merely an entrance to Uni
Now that they are charging £9K a year, I'll bet most lower their entry grades anyway as less people can afford to go.

Proof that educational standards have been suffering since at least the early 90s

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 9:54, Reply)
I only started school in the early 90s, so that's obviously bollocks too.
I think a lot of the problem is down to parents expecting schools to do all the work and taking no responsibility for their kids not being thick cunts. My mum taught me to read and write before I started school, and I think that helped considerably.

We've had this argument on here before
"less" can replace "fewer" but "fewer" can not replace "less". It's a modern, but acceptable usage.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 10:00, Reply)
Except that fewer was the correct term.
Fewer is discrete, less is continuous.

If you have a group of people, and some leave, there are fewer people.

I didn't say I liked it, I said it was acceptable.
Using your example, it's something to do with a group of people being a crowd and so if you remove part of that crowd, there's less crowd left. Language drift, rather than lack of education.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 10:11, Reply)
No, that would be fine under my idea of the rules too.
Less crowd, fewer people composing said crowd. The crowd is a single thing, the people are not.

That was one of the Unis I was looking at when I was still considering it, but I ended up looking more towards a broader spectrum computing degree

I also entered the world of higher education with just the one A level.
I then proceeded to, as Al put it, spunk three years of mum and dad's money up the wall.
My folks are so proud of me.

I also ended up with only one A Level, but by that point I was sick of academia altogether

But Al, everyone is daddy's little scholar ! 50% of people should go to uni, said the man in charge.
I left at gcse level, some people are better off getting on with life. I'd say at least 1/3 of the people who went to uni who I know, went for 'the experience' or because "it's next in the list". You'd have more to show if you took £10k and went traveling.

With hindsight I might have been better off leaving at GCSE level
But then why deny myself five years of drinking at my parents' expense?
Working for a living is shit, so I was quite happy to delay it.
(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 10:07, Reply)
Because you should have more respect for your parents and you've missed out on 5 years worth of practical experience (and rises/promotions)
5 years and you can be managing a supermarket on £30k plus benefits. Tell me how many graduates start on that?

Most of mine start on around £35-£40K these days.

But the difference is, from what I gather, is that you teach the more elite.
You couldn't get on your course if you were average at best.
(I helped save b3ta! G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 10:38, Reply)
nope, but it's also that you simply can't do the jobs our grads do without a (specifically, this) degree.
I'm totally in agreement with your original point, by the way - we shouldn't be sending 50% of the popuation to uni. Maybe 15% is a better idea. It was less than 20% when I went and I'm still fucking astounded how fast that has changed.

One will probably be much richer than the other.
especially if they're self-employed.

Funny how in all the fuss there's been about legal ways people and companies evade tax that the self-employed haven't been mentioned. I don't know anyone self employed who pays tax, and they all seem quite well off for people who don't make a profit. Most happily admit to avoiding tax in any way possible.

You can legitimately write off an absurd amount of stuff if you're self employed though.
I put part of my rent because I was using one room as an office, all my travel costs, boots, laptop, all kinds of shit that on PAYE would just be tough shit, buy it with your wages.

You're right, actually.
I've been here too long, I've caught low level creepy.

She's 20.
Which, apparently, is enough.

Enough for what?
And yes, I'm 20.

Fucking rules.

"rules" "wedding ring"
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 10:40, Reply)
No, the wedding ring says I'm not allowed to touch anything.
The rules, on the other hand, specify the age of the things I'm not allowed to touch anyway.

This is why I don't wear a wedding ring*



* not true, I simply don't like wearing jewellery.
(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 10:43, Reply)
Technically, right now mine is on a thing around my neck.
So I'm not wearing it either. terrible husband.

Edit - you'll get a lot more ladies trying it on if you do wear one, though. IME.

Maybe we shouldn't have to wear them in the first place.
We aren't pieces of meat to be tagged with some kind of symbol of ownership. It's like when farmers stick plastic tags through sheep.

regardless of my feelings on the subject.

I told her she didn't have to wear one if she didn't want to, either.
I have never worn a ring in my life and I wouldn't be comfortable with suddenly wearing one all the time. No dice. I would wear one and that was that.

I didn't really think that was fair.

I'd have been ok with wearing it around my neck or something, I think. She wasn't OK with that.

I frequently fiddled with my ring (hohoho) and kept dropping it,
which pissed the ex right off. I hate gold as well, so I thought it looked shit.

My wedding ring isn't bothered in the slightest that I don't own an wife.
Probably because it got melted down after I flogged it.
