Pupils are being rewarded for writing obscenities in their GCSE English examinations even when it has nothing to do with the question.One pupil who wrote “f*** off” was given marks for accurate spelling and conveying a meaning successfully.
The question that was being asked was, "“Describe the room you’re sitting in". Although I think the student's language was inappropriate, I can understand the sentiment in response to such an insipid question.
