Before the Christmas lockdown, John Swinney promised that there would be no exam diet this year. He assured us the grading system this year would be constructed from continuous assessment, course work and teacher estimation.
And yet, pupils are filing into gym halls up and down the country, and being handed question booklets by an invigilator, to then work through at separate tables over 90 minutes of strict silence. Don’t tell me these aren’t exams.
