Closed Don't implement GCSE exam 9-1 grades, instead have A*, A, B*, B, C*, C, D, E, F.

Closed on

The justification for swapping from A*-G to 9-1 can be found on the gov.uk webpage in additional details. After reading it I hope you agree it will just serve to cause massive confusion for employers & students. The system I propose keeps the the new 9 grades but is comparable to existing ones.
