Rejected petition to stop the downgrading of the 2020 gcse and A levels

we want the government to stop downgrading the grades of the 2020 gcse and a levels for year 11 and year 13 students and to stop comparing the results to the last year who sat the gcses and A levels.

More details

we feel its wrong for the government to down grade the exams because its doesn't matches with last year since after all we are all different people and what one person gets isn't the same as another. A unfair result could ruin a person life and could impact a person mental health and would cause social ridicule. it is unjust for the government to expect for year 11 and year 13 to give up there future ambitions because of bad grades that they wasn't meant to get just to make peoples jobs more easier.
