In fucking pencil with a nice snuggle for the pupil for trying his bery hardest?
Two word sexual expletives? Fuck my old boots.
He'd have got a kick in the dick if I ran the school.
I wrote a three-page story about a cat called Nigel in one of my Physics finals. The professor that marked it later told me that he put a line through it, thinking I was taking the piss, then realised that I had, after a fashion, answered all parts of the question. I'd included my calculations on a separate sheet, which made him look again at the story. He marked it then got someone else to check his marking and I ended up getting about 50% for the question. I reckon about half of these marks were for sheer audacity.
The cat had several adventures including being hurled into space at light speed sat atop a settee and being placed into a bag and thrown into a hole drilled from his back garden right through to the other side of the world.
here are some things we give marks for in GCSE english...
clear sense of purpose relevant content writing organised in an appropriate form awareness of the reader/intended audience vocabulary selected to create effect or convey precise meaning
accurate spelling simple or compound sentences secure control of tense
a personal response to texts
i think the candidate has ticked all these boxes. and i can't think of a better answer to the current examination system. bung 'em a few extra marks for originality, self-expression and searing satirical social commentary and i reckon it's an A*.
i might nominate it for the turner prize, actually.
two NAUGHTY, LAZY friends of mine did a song and dance routine from 'tom and jerry the movie' for their A level theatre studies mock exam. they got nothing. one of them was nominated for the ian charleson award last year though.

If you'd ever got down to marking them.
shut it. even at this very moment i am thinking about all the marking i have to do. that is the first stage. you can't rush these things.
Just fuck a load of big red ticks all over the place and give everyone 7/10 or 8/10. The kids are happy, the parents are happy and the marking's done in no time.
That's what I do when I'm checking stuff in my job.

What are you doing these days?
(Dinnae say I havnae set you up nicely)
marks out of ten don't exist in my subject. except for spelling tests, maybe.
i have to identify attainment levels based on the national curriculum targets/gcse spec and justify my decision with supporting comments from the level descriptors.
it's not exactly dead fucking poets, is it? i feel duped.
