We need to get away from this toxic mentality that unless you achieve highly academically you'll fail in life. Not everyone is academically gifted and we shouldn't all be tested in the same ways, it's not fair. And kids should be allowed to be kids, not doing homework every day!

We all had to do bloody exams, and other generations had to deal with more then they do. This generation is over sensitive and it’s starting to get tiresome. How about getting some decent career advisors to tell them exams are important but not the end of the world ?

Yeah. Exan stress. That's the ticket (rolling eyes)

No shit. The fact stress is an issue for so many of school age reflects badly on what we've become. Tick-box, scaremongered lemmings to what is perceived to be success.

Surely ‘examinations’ are designed to be stressful? You’re being tested. And you might fail.

Stop testing our children they are precious beyond measure, love them all nurture them all, children are NOT commodities or resources they are people damn it!

And we wonder why standards are falling in the UK, when we have crap like this.

What utter bollocks!
