Well, they're right, science should be made easier. What's all this nonsense with Π = 3.14..., for example? Make it 3, so the poor little dears can remember it without over-taxing their brains. They say they want pupils "...to acheive the best grade expected"; I don't see how making the exams easier will help this; it'll just give them a better grade than they deserve (with the downside that people at the top end of the scale won't have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability). It's madness... Ben
