Bring back the old GCSE grading system
Rejected

What the petition asks
From experience, I’ve seen loads of GCSE students working extra work, not allowing them to have time for their mental/physical health. This new system is making students feel pressured into wanting to pass - and also it means that colleges/universities have to change their requirements.
In conclusion, I feel that this new grading system is too harsh on young students and they should be able to enjoy their youth as well as work hard for their future.
Why it was rejected
It was created under a fake or incomplete name.
