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...
