The standards set are ludicrous, unrealistic, and uneccesarily placed as a means of testing. I want others who feel the same to stand with me on a topic so important.","additional_details":"Learning is about teaching people how to think. The new exams students sit doesn't project this principle. It revels in shoving a plethora of information down students throats,forcing them to remember paragraphs & paragraphs of text; sheets of equations. Students sitting the new GCSE's, (if sitting 10) learn 330% more information than before. Is forcing people to learn mark schemes & lines testing knowledge? Because they may not remeber quotes or equations doesn't mean they can't make use of it.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":13,"created_at":"2019-08-31T21:07:19.545Z","updated_at":"2020-02-26T22:53:49.479Z","rejected_at":"2019-09-09T13:48:41.448Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2019-08-31T22:16:02.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":"Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.\r\n\r\nWe're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to reform exams. \r\n\t\r\nYou could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
