  1. What a story. They give out whatever grades they want. Evidence of nothing. Back in reality, the average person doesn't have the ability to pass exams from 40 years ago because of the decline in education standards.

  2. And what about the poor kids whose results suffered due to the massive govt overreach/borderline tyranny c.2020-2022? Let's just brush it under the carpet shall we?
