This is why I think it was positive when the curriculum reform announcements back in November aimed to cut GCSE exam time by 10% (or 3 hours). Should probably be more.
Apparently we’re one of the international exceptions with how much academic pressure we put on students at that age.
We also have one of the worst teenage mental health situations in Europe, which figures.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. We favour numbers and memory above all else at that age.
The pressure younger generations face now is immesurable.
It was hard when I was young, I can’t imagine how bad they have it now.
I’m glad I had the childhood I did, when I did. Most don’t even get that these days.

Some people are just not test takers and they are forced into this discriminatory system. 😞
