    Over the decades of GCSC dilution, few teachers complained. Only now when standards are being raised, they're out in force crying foul.

        @bernardjenkin because the goalposts have been moved after course had started. Unlike Science GCSEs which were changed before the start

        @bernardjenkin What evidence have you got that standards have been diluted? Whats being eroded is a criteria-based approach to assessment.

        @bernardjenkin @TimMontgomerie Is it not the manner of the changes rather than the actual change which is the crux of this issue? #GCSEs
