Example, in 6th form my English teacher couldn't stand me, and I her. I'd turn in what I would consider very good stuff and get shit marks. I got a grade of "5". 6 is a fail. 7th form, one year later and I got an A in Bursery English. Full internal assesment doesn't work imo.
Plus there's the system whereby they'd sort of ration the marks available- so, if you have 15 people get As in School C, the next year you only have, say, 15 1s to give out. If you only have one 1 to give out, and there are two students with great work, and the next mark available's a 5... tough bikkies. *grrr* Would have driven me batty. But I really like the combination internal/external system.
