Apart from anything else, it’s so authoritarian.

Who is describing it as ‘A-Level English’?
There is a Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages & a B2 level of French, say, would be ~a UK A Level - in French.
But a B2 level in English is *not* the same as an UK A level in English.
Media/Govt - just use the CEFR levels ffs!

I remember doing quadratic equations at school and I have a reasonable level of maths (says, really) from doing my mba. I’m a language graduate. I always thought that the French Baccalaureate was a better idea but maybe lots of people drop out of that.

Fergus is deep in thought, it seems. Who knows what’s going on in that little brain?

I think you’re right, really. It’s still a bit funny to say you can’t do sums.

The amount of STEM people I know who have difficulty stringing a descriptive sentence together. *ducks*

My son was required to take an English test for his Canadian citizenship. He got 99% 🤦🏽‍♀️
