Slow down. Talk slower. Walk slower. Stop multitasking when you don’t have to. Do one thing at a time. Do it with intention. Be more present.
Having been through the university system, I can tell you that only one group is ever “promoted beyond their abilities.” And it’s not the working class.

Mulberry Sixth Form have had 75% of their grades downgraded today. One of the highest level of downgrading today. The sixth form is based in Tower Hamlets, the poorest borough in London.
What’s worse is that 100% of Chemistry grades were downgraded too. Every single one.

#AlevelResults Predicted A*A*A*. Expcetionally low performing school. No one had ever achieved a Cambridge offer before in my sixth form. Performed at A*A*A consistently. Today, A*AB. Dropped two grades in Sociology. Denied Cambridge place. This is what has happened to me.
“Ofqual decided to give more weight to predicted grades when students are in a smaller cohort... This decision advantaged private schools, as state sixth forms often cover large areas and have far more students.” newstatesman.com/2020/08/top-le…
Feeling pretty angry about this. Most A Level students in Greater Manchester go to sixth form colleges and FE colleges. Many have been downgraded today because the Government created a system which is inherently biased against those institutions. How can that possibly be fair?
Top A-level grades soar at private schools as sixth form colleges lose out. @michaelgoodier reports:

I’m at a school in East London today where 47% of students have had results downgraded from teachers predictions. Some predicted Cs have been given a U. Some A* predictions reduced to a B.

I sincerely hope there’s a full investigation into A Level results being ‘downgraded’ to check how much classism played a role

The system of downgrading results from previously low-scoring schools, is the very definition of keeping people in their place; no hope of achieving beyond your opportunity. 1/2@rachelparris

If you live in the #Rhondda & you believe your results have been downgraded because of class - eg. where you live, the school you go to or any other form of discrimination, I am very keen to hear from you. Please e mail Leanne.wood@senedd.cymru@LeanneWood

Transport minister Shapps has just deleted his tweet to me. I suspect he thought 4am Saturday was early Sunday morning. It’s not. It’s 4am Saturday.
Surely anyone returning after 4am Saturday is quarantined. Otherwise what does 4am Saturday mean? twitter.com/grantshapps/st…
