Scottish U-Turn On Exam Results.
This is completely insane.

Those of us who are experienced GCE Examiners know full well that teachers' estimated grades are inflated. This year in Scotland they have effectively been handed a "Cheat's Charter". Where Scotland goes today I fear England will follow suit on Thursday.

Agreed again, diddlydo.
However I think an explanation should be given as to how they decided which students to apply the 'downgrading' to as part of the standardisation. I expect they used a system based on teacher rankings but I haven't seen an explanation- if so the pupils who are unhappy should raise the issue with the school.
Grades have always been estimated/adjusted for some students- usually where the student was either absent through illness or was unwell when sitting. I assume the same or a similar algorithm was used there.
