Mark W Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just going back to what Adamtrials was saying - generally, lower entry qualifications mean a lower standard. It's a generalisation and obviously there are going to be different institutions which buck that trend, but with unis it seems to be fairly accurate. e.g. an Oxbridge degree is rated as one of the best you can get, and is 'worth' more to employers, and you've gotta get straight A's in A-levels to stand a chance of getting in. In comparison, um... can't think of any widely accepted as shit unis so I won't name names, but the value of a degree in terms of how employers, etc. will rate it will go down. A degree is still a degree though so it's all good, but Adam's right to some extent. Equally, I know a fair few people who are staying on to do sixth form purely for the EMA. They have no interest in what they're doing, forge notes from their parents so they don't have to turn up but still get the money and the end of term bonus shenanigans, and are generally worse off academically because a vocational type course would've suited them better. I really don't think EMA was a great idea, to be fair. It may just be 'cos I'm pissed that while we were in the last year of sixth form the lower sixth were getting it as the first year who did, but we weren't allowed it, but if you think of the many, many thousands of people who've done A-levels who didn't need to be bribed into coming back, it seems a bit pointless. Judging from the lack of teachers and resources a lot of schools seem to be facing, not pumping money into student's wallets for no reason seems shit. I know some people rely on it for transport or whatever, but setting that up as a seperate grant for people who need to cover costs would be better than just giving everyone a shit load of cash.Good work to people for their results though, one more milestone out the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me, but in maths! We had a really good teacher, then he left. We ended up with this Spanish dude, was shite, then we had an okay teacher.Aw well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 We just didn't get a teacher at all for the last half of our AS year, and then no teacher whatsoever for the entire of our A-level year for Philosophy. Doing a 2,500 word essay with no idea what you're talking about is tech Much experience of it from here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Yeah, perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough with what i was saying.I don't believe EMA is a totally bad thing, it helps deserving people get through a levels who otherwise would have had to work. Hell, i was nearly able to claim EMA and would have done. However there are people who see going to a sixth form college, doing nothing and getting payed for it as the easy way out and this degrades the quality of education for those that want to work. It is the opinion of some that EMA is purely a government invention to keep people off unemployment, which is plausible.And my comment regarding colleges with no entry requirements, this was in relation to people with poor gcse grades doing a levels so they can get a degree. As an example my cousin got shockingly bad gcses, went on to do a levels in media studies, travel and tourism, something else and got E's. She is now doing a degree in leisure, which from what I have heard sounds like a very easy course... This ties in with what Mr Westlake was saying above about the devaluation of degrees in employers eyes. Doing a worthwhile vocational subject at a college is a completely different matter and not something that I was criticising.
