Petition Action

Take content out of the GCSE and A-Levels to match up with the time off school

Petition Details

Take the amount of content that would be covered in the amount of time we are off school off the GCSEs.
Only give the children homework and revision type tasks to do while on lockdown.

Additional Information

An estimated 5.9 – 7.1% children and adolescents have diagnosed ADHD and on top of that, many others have other learning disabilities or mental health issues that prevent them from being able to sit down and work from home.
Their entire futures are being sabotaged by a situation they cannot control.
Using predicted grades is also a terrible idea. Few teens even try in exams that don't contribute to anything, and are now being told that these will be taken into account for GCSE results?
