Rejected petition To remove the study and exam of 'The sign of the Four'- In the GCSE English.

The new GCSE Spec has come out for English and Maths. Me and my class mates have been discussing that we are seeing that not only the students but the teachers are struggling with the workload. I personally struggle with English and don't like the fact that there is one paper but I can't do anything

More details

We are currently doing: 15poems (without our anthology),Romeo and Juliet,The sign of the four and language papers. English Language and plus maths which does allow us to have any formulas. & our options depending on what school you go to. If you get a lot of all the topics for all subjects I believe you will understand where I am coming from. I have seen documentaries of teachers and parents doing exams such as SATS and not passing.
