So now they are marking the papers 'harder'!! :doh I'd have thought the answer was either right or wrong!! :crazy:

Isn't it strange that you see kids on the news getting excited about getting C's? :rolleyes: .... that was basically the border between just passing and just failing when I was at school in the 80's, nothing to be proud of!
