Reducing GCSE Stress ≠ Dumbing Kids Down

A child's education should never feel like a chore, let alone be so stressful that so many struggle - and then have adults responding to their stress by calling any change or accommodation "weak". Children's responses and behaviour are always feedback to and the reflection of the environment they're in. Adults - especially those in politics who have so much power - should know better.

It's absolutely normal to experience different levels of stress when taking exams, but I think the level many pupils feel, and the way the system forces kids to take them, is completely unhealthy. The system can and should do better.

💬 What do you think? Do exams actually prepare young people for adulthood, or are we confusing stress with strength? Share your thoughts in the comments - I’d love to hear your perspective!
