On Friday, AQA said sorry to A-level law students for the "confusion and stress" after questions on nuisance were included in their paper, despite there being no advance warning that the subject would be included in the exam.
Oh no! Poor little snowflakes! Mummy will go to the papers for you about this terrible injustice!
Coralie Foster, from Bolton, said her daughter was "more angry than upset" at the surprise question in the A-Level law paper on Monday.
She added: "Nowadays these university offers are so high - so the pressure on these kids to get the top grades is immense.
"Advance information was meant to help focus that work, but it's all been completely undermined."
Does she imagine she'll never be faced with the unexpected when she's in court, then?

No lawyer, or barrister, will ask a question in court that they do not already know the answer to, so the concern of the students, who should have prepared for the exam is, in their eyes, understood. Perhaps they are studying for the wrong profession? Something with "Would you like fries with that?" spring's to mind. When sitting exams on law, I was always told two things: RFQ (read the f*cking question) and expect the unexpected.

I see AQA's point. Education itself is a stress and a hellish source of pupil discomfort. Bionic neurons and chips could relace lazy brain circuits, thereby eliminating the need for teachers or holding examinations...oh, wait...
Poor lass. She is handicapped enough by having that name foisted on her.
It sounds like the teachers are teaching the pupils only enough to pass the exam rather than providing a full education.
The law of nuisance isn’t terribly complex and is quite interesting because it relates to situations of real life that everyone can understand. Are these pupils only reading selected chapters of their textbooks and ignoring the rest?
Let’s wait and see the results of the exams, what’s the betting that poor Eddie will be one who fails hopelessly.
What is it with the snowflake kids of today? What do they expect from an exam, answers on a crib sheet given out with the exam?
If what we are seeing is the quality or lack thereof of the students it is little wonder the country is going downhill fast.
In my day you were expected to know the subject and we weren't told what to revise for any exam.
' Advance information'?
We used to call that cheating...

Even McDonalds has standards, Penseivat!
"It sounds like the teachers are teaching the pupils only enough to pass the exam rather than providing a full education."
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!
"We used to call that cheating..."
Indeed we did...
