Rejected petition Allow GCSE English students a copy of the poetry anythology in the exam.

In previous years students have been allowed to take the poetry anthology into the exam with them.
Why now change it and make the exam more memory than knowledge?
Surely you want students to be focusing on the content in their essays rather than having to memorise quotations from 15 poems.
