I agree with Polly school was torture...I went back to my old school the other day to see if it still had Arbeit macht frei over the gates.

The problem with more people going to universitey and having loads of A and A* results (whats and A*) is that it devalues the exam.

When I was looking for a jobafter i left school in the late 70s every job had the no fo o levels required.

Now we don't bother with them or degrees. I go more for the poeple who have done a Saturay job since they were 14 or were in the cadets. Cos you get these poeple who went to school then university and mummy and daddy paid all the bills so they didn't need to worry about working then they get to the big wide world at 22 and its all a shock.
