@MavenPolitic That figures

@vickygrayson_ @Jgore1974 @alexhrbfc @sharkastic @Gibsonville @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC GCSE results and institution is passed on to the university

@Jgore1974 @alexhrbfc @sharkastic @Gibsonville @vickygrayson_ @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC It's nuanced. University admissions is sophisticated enough to pick up a tfr from PS ro SS, and to different types of school. Also its got better at distinguishing between advantaged pupils at disadvantaged schools but it's not perfect

@alexhrbfc @Jgore1974 @sharkastic @Gibsonville @vickygrayson_ @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC Contextual offers.

@sharkastic @Jgore1974 @alexhrbfc @Gibsonville @vickygrayson_ @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC Nope. It just pushes the problem downhill.

@Jgore1974 @sharkastic @alexhrbfc @Gibsonville @vickygrayson_ @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC Hey sharky are you one of the twitter warriors 4 Labour?

@johncosgrove405 @SLou1967 I don't need a study to tell me that, I have the evidence of mine and many others experience

@johncosgrove405 @SLou1967 Question: why do you think there is an epidemic of shoplifting?

@johncosgrove405 @SLou1967 *lagged

@johncosgrove405 @SLou1967 So people playing loud music on public transport when the previous norm was to listen with headphones are not "activists for change"?

@tobyfoster If you stick to Mayfair...

@johncosgrove405 @SLou1967 You say the Broken Wi down Theory is debunked; yet how do you think the largely lawless society of the mid C18th got transformed I to the high trust orderly society of the mid C20th?

@vickygrayson_ @sharkastic @Jgore1974 @alexhrbfc @Gibsonville @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC If you've passed the exam, A Levels weren't going to show anything relevant. Friend of mine had the same.

@vickygrayson_ @sharkastic @Jgore1974 @alexhrbfc @Gibsonville @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC It would have been 2Es (F is a fail), in the days when people took the entrance exam.

@johncosgrove405 @SLou1967 It's symptomatic of declining high trust. People see others doing it and getting away with it and join in. It's a recognised sociological phenomenon.

@vickygrayson_ @sharkastic @Jgore1974 @alexhrbfc @Gibsonville @IsabelPat1886 @samantha_jane77 @oldishbird1 @COOKIETSC There isn't published data but I know of someone who got AA as an offer. Most get A*A*A
