Rejected petition Allow GCSE students to have the literature they studied into the English exams.

The government expect us young children to memorise 15 poems, and 2 novels. It's too much. Previous years had the text with them in the exam. This puts them at an unfair advantage when apply for jobs etc ad their English grade will presumably be higher than the 2018 GCSE students.
