Especially as a Year 11 pupil myself.","additional_details":"This will adequately make students exam periods a lot better and significantly improve their state of mental health as expectations will not be placed as high upon them. Especially by lowering the grade boundaries for a pass from a 4 to a 3. Considering the fact that young people have been faced with a variety of challenges caused by the pandemic and a whole years worth of education has been missed due to this, It seems like a logical and fair way to ensure an ease of pressure on young people.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2021-12-13T19:23:39.122Z","updated_at":"2021-12-16T10:26:51.391Z","rejected_at":"2021-12-16T10:26:50.539Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2021-12-13T20:35:58.000Z","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":"duplicate","details":"Decisions about grade boundaries are a matter for exam boards, not the Government or Parliament, but we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:\r\n\r\nDfE to report grade 3 as a 'standard pass': https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/598969\r\n\r\nReduce examination content for all GCSEs and A Levels in 2022: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/591792"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
