gollark: Oh, yes. I missed those, thankfully.

gollark: Unless you didn't. Then you would be really behind.

gollark: You start GCSEs in year 10.

gollark: As I said, I think A-level might be better, as I only do 3 (well, 4) subjects I actually like, with better teachers and not with people who don't care, but... well, based on past evidence of school stuff it might also be equally terrible?

gollark: > well, the actual purpose of schools is to teach people things, but most students do not learn anything even if they go to school. source: mean math score being about 4/40 in the university entrance exam.Exactly! It's mostly worthless!
