I can only imagine what it’s like to be a teacher preparing kids for their A-levels. The years of tuition, testing, coursework and marking (my God, the marking), all leading up to this one moment… Yes, A-level results day is upon us again.
Only this year, it’s even more onerous than usual for teachers. Because now they’re having to coach kids who fail to make the required grades for their chosen universities on how to make phone calls during clearing.
