[QUOTE=sparky28000;26231094]I don't think they do that here. (The Netherlands)
Not sure though have to make mine in March I think.[/QUOTE]
Then you should REALLY be embarrassed because they do take dyslexics into account here!
And assuming you're in your final year, that would be May.

[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;26231111]Yes we do.

Excuse my pessimism regarding that but when I have to do a GCSE-related project in year 9 about how boiling water in a kettle is better than putting a pan with water on a furnace, I have VERY little hope about my later years.
Or the fact that I was learning shit in year 9 maths I had only learned 2 years earlier.

[QUOTE=elitehakor v2;26180538]You mean they didn't do this before?[/QUOTE]

My thoughts exactly. How are you supposed to teach people to spell if you don't even require it?

Sorry, you were saying?

Thread is a strange mix of laughing Scots, understanding English, raging 10 year olds who couldn't spell to save their life and oddly a mix of Americans both being raging 10 year olds and completely failing to understand the British school system (Makes more sense than the potentially something like 4 schools some people move between in the US) in both 'too easy' and 'too hard'.
