It now turns out that AICE Business Studies (which is AS level) has been
misunderstood by at least two universities. The Principal of one college
has openly lied to the student (with witnesses) and stressed to him that
it is an A level. Now the truth is beginning to come out the tutor has
dropped the student (safety first) and one university has withdrawn
their offer. The second university was informed by the Principal that it
was an A level but have now checked. They too are urging the student to
change boards and get an A level. Meanwhile Daddy (a Russian) is
contacting solicitors. Such is the world of private education.....if I
had not intervened the student would never have known and would (so a
university tells me) have been rejected in August when of course it is
all too late.
Call me a scaremongerer if you like but several students have now been
helped.And that is what teaching is about - helping students :-))
