So over time when teachers set coursework for their students, they have to take it home, mark it and pass it back to the kid to write up.

The kid gets their target grade but without becoming smarter.

Year by year their target grade increases, and year by year teachers have to do more and more work on their student's work.

And that is how by secondary school teachers are passed children that can barely write or recall a subject who've been predicted A-Cs.

Can you imagine the anxiety when you set some coursework for a class, and the work produced is multiple grades below their target grades?

How are the other teacher's doing it? How did their last teacher get such high quality work out of them?

You soon realise their dirty secret. They are taking the work home, editing it, and writing paragraphs of additions.

You set the children's coursework, write the children's coursework, and finally you mark the children's coursework. Target grade achieved.

You wake up at 6AM to go to school. You come home at 7PM after giving free remedial classes. You begin their coursework and finish at 10pm.

(Not every school in London requires this from their teachers. But it's happening in schools in deprived areas.)
