EducationGuardian.co.uk | Schools special reports | A-levels 'not being dumbed down'

EducationGuardian.co.uk | Schools special reports | A-levels 'not being dumbed down': "This year's A-level results are expected to show an increase in the pass rate for the 22nd year in succession and the number of A grades is predicted to rise as well." -And people are starting to say that there's a lowering of standards -the bell curve gone mad!

We put more effort and even money into education, better teachers, better equipment and kids who are probably better motivated and we don't appear to have the capacity to beleive that they might get better results because they've worked harder than we did and learnt more. Ptahh! What kind of nation of killjoys are wwe

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
