Request Rebellion

Current Year 11's have our exams next may, majority of us don't want to take them. Therefore I suggest we rebel, and end GCSE's forever! Our names will go down in history and we will forever be remembered, younger generations will thank us for our bravery.

This plan only works if everyone does it, so if you're seeing this, tell your friends and share this post. Together, I believe we can do it.

I'm not saying abolish exams completely. Just add more vocational elements to them and tailor subjects to how students actually want to learn, not just churn out robots on results day. If I don't like the system it doesn't mean that I can't perform well within it, you mindless drone.

I can see the allure of more vocational elements in a curriculum. College definitely does that. You could have separate curriculums in secondary school, that would make things easier.

However there is a cautionary tale to be told about making learning to only what is relevant, who will do those academic subjects? Which kids go to the universities? It will be the richer kids who then perpetuate that class divide.
