i do infact get A*'s in English language and litrature and thats not a lie, so shh !
Sadly, that means nothing nowadays, since the worthless bunch of social engineers who currently run the country have demeaned education to the point where it is now worthless. The fact that you can write the way you do and still obtain an A* grade just confirms what I have feared for many years.

As an aside, I hear there are plans afoot to introduce an "A**" grade - how trite!

Here's a suggestion for a new grading system:

A** = A
A* = B
A = C
B = FAIL!!

In other words, just the way it used to be when I was educated, when employers could actually rely on exam grades to determine an applicants probable potential.

Alternatively, we could just give everybody an "A", with the number of stars determining exactly how "A" you were! Although I suspect some pinko would take issue with even this ridiculous proposal, since it is 'elitist'. God help the future, is all I can say...
