The nerves, the anxiety, the fear of the future. And that was all in peacetime with no concerns about battling on through a pandemic.
It's expected that pass marks and grades will be down across the board today, when compared to the alleged generous marking of teachers last year. From being faintly scandalised by the inequality and profligacy, I'd now happily have a whip round now to send all the young people who missed out on school trips away off somewhere exotic. They've earned it.
Or that your mark this year is less than it would have been if only you hadn't had the misfortune to sit your exams at the end of the pandemic. They are just a stepping stone on to the next thing with multiple paths leading to the same – or an even better – destination. That's all very well, but, despite being the right message, it's pretty meaningless for a young person who's done nothing but focus for a year on more on this one goal.
School league tables don't reflect any of this. Taking university acceptance as a measure of success doesn't reflect any of this.
