What did you get out of going back in time last summer?
If I only learnt one thing from King's School, it's that you don't need to be loaded to get good grades. Of course, in some people's cases the £18,000 a year boarding school expenses were actually to buy the grades. I mean, you wouldn't expect anything less than perfect for that cost every year. Me, I worked to get my grades - despite what people sometimes say about me! But it's true. Hard work is all it takes!
Secondly, the one subject I failed was history. I was predicted a general pass C for history at GCSE, but I got an A*. At King's, I failed abysmally with a level 9. We were talked at and expected to take it all in. I only got some overall gists. My grade was almost equivalent to the modern-day U for Unacceptable/Unmarkable. I'm now doing history at college for AS-level and I'm predicted (contrastingly) a high A/B grade ... If that says anything about modern-day education, then it's definitely supportive!
