7 day tweet volume :
i could actually cry thinkin about all the working class kids who’ve lost out on an opportunity they worked 50 times harder for and deserve more than the private school kids who will take their place, because of an algorithm that was out to get them in the first place
my sister got her a-level results today! Her mock results were AAA, her centre assessed results were A*,A,A* which she 100% deserves yet because of clever Boris’ algorithm she’s ended up with BBC ... HOW do you come to that result when NONE of her work has ever been graded that pic.twitter.com/yedAUl3LVc
And now to explain to us how the system is fair, the twentieth prime minister who went to Eton.
PM Boris Johnson insists the grading system this year amid the #coronavirus pandemic is "robust", but adds that "obviously it was always going to be difficult without formal exams".

Unless you come illegally by dinghy, then it’s no problem.
500,000 Brits on holiday in France face quarantine on return, from v early Saturday morning.
The U.K genuinely hates working class students. Look at how much it costs to resit an exam?!

“I wanted to make everyone that believed in me proud… I knew I could get those grades if I actually did the exams.” Mithushan Thiagarajah had an offer to read medicine at Cambridge and was predicted 4 A*s. Today he was downgraded and the offer has been withdrawn. #Newsnight@BBCNewsnight

The algorithm used by Ofqual can’t be applied to small cohorts. Private schools have far more small cohorts than state schools. So this system they’ve created favours private schools. Ofqual knows this, the Tories know this. They don’t care about kids in state schools.
The proportion of A level grades at grade A and above has seen a rise at private schools this year more than double any type of state school, @Ofqual data reveals. #AlevelResults #alevels2020 tes.com/news/A-levels-…
Private schools received greatest increase in grades; schools in disadvantaged areas received greatest decrease. Anyone surprised?
R is our school's top English student. She got 9 at GCSE. She got A at AS. She is studious, precise, deeply thoughtful. She has just had her A Level grade reduced from A* to C, apparently just because she goes to a disadvantaged school. It might help if you liked her poem. pic.twitter.com/HN23JA5ByW

Oh how you love to see the Tories systematically disadvantaging the working class at every given opportunity
A grades at private schools up more than any other school/college type. Eyebrow raising. #AlevelResults pic.twitter.com/CKqsluVUge
No school should be classed as a disadvantaged school - The schooling system and the education we receive shouldn’t reflect our socio-economic background. No child should have their studies impacted by the money their parents make. Abolish private schools. Fund full education.

This is so unbelievably cruel. Why should where you live and the school you go to determine your grade ? The casual snobbery and elitism towards pupils and there teachers makes me so angry. Why is the government so relaxed about damaging their futures? Fix it @GavinWilliamson

England A-level downgrades hit pupils from disadvantaged areas hardest theguardian.com/education/2020…
When Gavin Williamson says of the reduction of poorer pupils grades that:
“The danger is that pupils will be over-promoted into jobs that are beyond their competence" he couldn’t make it any clearer how much he opposes poor kids moving ‘beyond their place’ in our society.

I grew up in a council house on an estate with many challenges. I went to a newly formed comprehensive. I was the only pupil in my school to go to uni in 1979. I went to Cambridge with four As. I feel for everyone suffering tonight. They deserve better. They deserve fairness.

get rid of this narrative that unless you go to a “uni of”, unless you go to a russell group or get into oxbridge then you haven’t done well. it is an ELITIST LIE.
A good news story particularly at such a time when the narratives around refugees are largely negative

Our country has a serious problem with allowing misreporting without any serious repercussions. Once again, an entire narrative that drove media discourse for weeks turns out to be baseless. It’s driven the demonisation of individuals as opposed to recognising systemic failure.
This, by @chrisgreybrexit, is quite the pithiest and comprehensive explanation of why Brexit always gets more extreme — from Norway, to Canada, to the far shores of no deal dystopia.
It has to as a narrative of betrayal.
It’s Sado-Populism bylinetimes.com/2020/08/13/par…

Many of my #Darlington constituents - not just @NUFC fans - contacted me last week about the proposed takeover of the club and the @premierleague’s lack of fan engagement.

I have at least one constituent whose A*AA school submission was downgraded to 3 Cs Explain that to me. Yes, they come from a less privileged area of Newcastle and go to a state school.
• Almost 60% of grades students received are exactly the same as those submitted by schools and colleges • 96.4% of grades were either the same as those submitted by schools or colleges or only changed by one grade, testament to teachers' excellent judgement and hard work
A petition signed by 100K+ fans. Letters on behalf of their constituents from 50 MPs. Yet the @premierleague remains quiet. If that's not a COMPLETE DISREGARD for fans, I don't know what is.
Proud sponsors, are you? @EASPORTS @Barclays @BudweiserUK @CocaCola @Nike @TAGHeuer

Looks like sixth form and FE colleges have particularly lost out in the standardization process for this year's A Level results. Private schools reaping the benefits with a huge increase in grade A and above. pic.twitter.com/DaRecmUrWK
