Thank you to all those who have shown for the site over the past week - it is appreciated.
Appreciation should also go to Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, who today following a leak to the Daily Mail, is putting forward a plan to move back to the O-level system. Commentators including us here (1 and 2) have said the move from exam-based O-levels to course-based GCSE's has greatly damaged the education of boys for the last 25 years. It has led to a gender education gap of about seven years which is now feeding through into a gender pay gap for young men.
There of course is the usual groundswell of opinion against the plans, and often the more people oppose something the better it probably is as the vested interests wade in.
They are only plans and suggestions at this stage and nothing is agreed but a change back would save future generations of boys from the fate the current and recent past generations of boys have had in having an exam system that is weighted against them.

Shown? Yes all three of them whoopee! But Skimmington won't show,. He still hides, kinda kills and validation and genuine face to the site doesn't it, along with censorship at the behest of feminists and P.C style administration.... I wonder why?

More feminist derived bull**it to prop up the glass ceiling lies.
They don't mention men live shorter lives, always had to wait years longer before they get their pension than women also. Usually by then spent most of it on women anyway or or had most of it taken by women in some fashion.
Why don't they just shut up with these lies people are getting too wise to this feminist ruse now.
Anyway, get used to it because more and more men are saying get lost to women and keeping their money to themselves, they are sick of it all. Time to stop playing into the hands of the game and make the rules ourselves.MGTOW!

I think GCSEs, even though they have had more of a negative impact on boys, havn't been to good for girls either. They are so lowly regarded as to make them worthless. Going back to O-Levels is long overdue.
Maybe now we'll see moves to get rid of rubbish such as "Gender Studies" and "Women's Studies" not to mention "Feminism" as a degree level course too. Unless they want to set up a degree in Men's Rights! Though I think they'd rather sink their own ship than see that one come in.
