Hey I was wandering whether the exam results debacle or mess up is just another kind of distraction to take peoples mind away from what is actually going on so people get upset about getting a grade d instead of c it might matter them in grand scheme of things does is it really define you as being super intelligent just being able to memorize what the system has tought you which is not really thinking for yourself as such and also is that another path leading down the route of AI artificial intelliegence having a computer predict your grades no real negative press about them protesting about that but if its against masks and lockdown measures seems different response and how different our colleges and universities going to be in the future

Yes, it's nothing more than political theatre to distract the credulous. It's been perfectly obvious to anyone with half a brain that the exam results would be nothing other than a fiasco as soon as it was announced that children wouldn't be able to sit exams and would have to rely on predicted grades and computer algorithms.
We cannot criticise Gavin Williamson for failing to ensure that the results were decided fairly and fluently because it was an impossible task. No human and certainly no computer can justly or accurately grade children for exams they have not sat.
The sight of the kiddies protesting is sickening. They want to whinge at Williamson because they don't like how things panned out, but they can't say how things should have panned out. I cannot abide detractors who can't offer a constructive alternative. All the while they're wearing masks, as if they believed some doomsday prophecy about a disease that's going to kill us all. But I must repeat myself: no constructive alternative was possible and any fool could have seen that from the beginning.
Williamson will be perfectly safe in his job because he would not have been expected to act as Education Secretary. It was his job to act as a scapegoat for the government destroying any chance the children had of proper learning and fair examinations, and he has pulled it off admirably.
