It is not BS that exams are getting easier. I sat A level maths as part of an experiment a few years ago and got an A. The best I managed at 'o' level (showing my age) was a C. Many of the kids on my footwear design course couldn't even calculate 20% without an calculator and didn't even know how I could do it so quickly! :eek: They were supposed to have GCSE grade C or above to get on the course!
There is one thing to reward someone for doing well but they should be rewarded for the effort not the result. If they're paid for results, what are you going to do when she passes her AS, then her A levels, then her BA then her MA then her PHd etc. At those sorts of rates you'd have to buy her a house for a post grad degree![strike]-£20,000[/strike] 0!0 -
