It’s that time of year again. All across Britain, during the month of August, students will receive their GCSE and A levels results. I know what it feels like to have that horrible knot in the pit of your stomach, regardless of how well you’ve done. It’s the waiting that gets to you and then all of a sudden you have to open the envelope that has been placed in your shaking hands. After all that… well it’s a bit of anticlimax to be honest. The next day in the papers, the people who have done well get their photos printed in the press. These are accompanied by articles written by critics slaughtering the students who have done well, stating that the exams are getting easier and easier each year and that the education system has no real value left. With regards to photos, the website forwarded in a tweet by Dara O’Briain, summarises the whole photo taking scenario.
