Training to win
Aug. 26th, 2008 12:59 pmThe the GCSE results came out the other day (that's a set of exams for 16 year olds, non-Uk readers), with the now-traditional year-on-year improvement of results and record numbers of people scoring A-grades. Naturally, the papers and TV were full of hand-wringing comment about how exams are getting easier, they aren't what they were like in my day, and how this was all trees when I was a girl.
Coincidentally, the Olympics closed on Sunday with the GB team having got their best results in a hundred years. I can only expect to read in the press stories about how the Olympics must be getting easier, and how we should go back to those more difficult Olympics we used to have back in the 1970's and 80's.
