Reminds me of when I was 15 and the teacher we had the previous year had left and one of the maths teachers took over.
He did his best but I have taught my self faster than he did.
Though because I was on the CSE stream even though I got a grade 1 they wouldn't let me do computing at A level - as CSE kids where supposed to leave at 16.
- RobotCaleb 8y agoYour last sentence is intriguing to me. I understand all the words, and I think I get the gist, but I'm not familiar with any of it. What is CSE? Google seems to think it's Certificate of Secondary Education. So, middle school -> early high school equivalent? Grade 1? A level? Leave where, the school? (I'm in the US, so that's probably the disconnect)
- walshemj 8y agoAt that time there where two sets of exams taken at 16 O levels and CSE. The O levels where for Kids in grammar and private schools and the CSE's where for the kids who went to secondary modern schools who left at 15/16. As I was dyslexic I was put in the CSE stream though I did get a grade 1 in maths and computer studies which is the same as a pass at O level I didn't get to do A level computing.
