Yup. I got a B and two D’s (it wasn’t the best of times) and went on to first class honours, masters with distinction, and a PhD.
This is dreadful article. Universities should be applauded for giving students with poor grades the chance to develop. Instead, this article seems to be saying it's "grade inflation". Rubbish. I've taught crap students with great A-levels and great students with crap A-levels.https://twitter.com/SianGriffiths6/status/1117676961348902912 …

How ridiculous to suggest that grades are inflated for students from "poor backgrounds". How do they think that works when papers and vivas are marked? Maybe a note on the student's script saying "poor person, please add extra marks"

Government minister insinuates uni's are acting discreditably. "Damian Hinds, the education secretary, told universities last month that they must end the steep rise of “unjustifiable” first-class degrees." Can't help but think he, and his party, need to look in the mirror.

A Levels are not an indication of the strength of a candidate, be it in employment or for university.

Absolutely disgusting article indeed. People learn at different paces and bloom at different stages in life. To dismiss the students' effort and the universities' effort into helping them by calling it "grade inflation" is plain offensive

Indeed its elitist claptrap. The more I hear from these people the less I want to hear from them.

That article is so far away from real life it’s crazy. Alevels are not real world. You could argue uni isn’t either but the way you learn at uni definitely sets you up for real life compared to a levels
