Tbis one particular teacher did not come in for 6 months and the teachers we did have as cover did not help us and we told to just fail our exams. not to mention I tried to change to 3 subjects physics, law, and biology all which I had the gcse's for however they wouldnt let me do any of the subjects I wanted.
