But for all the negative the school gets through word of mouth from student to student, there is also the fact that the teachers really try, they understand the situation that the students are in because they have to mark work, mark homework, and make the next lesson, for multiple classes,all in a night, every night, for a whole school year. So they get affected by the increase in homework. Plus I think the fact that this school had lower average GCSE\u00e2\u0080\u0099s was because of the slightly flawed and very harsh system put out by the government, that other schools probably didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t follow.

But for all the negative the school gets through word of mouth from student to student, there is also the fact that the teachers really try, they understand the situation that the students are in because they have to mark work, mark homework, and make the next lesson, for multiple classes,all in a night, every night, for a whole school year. So they get affected by the increase in homework. Plus I think the fact that this school had lower average GCSE\u00e2\u0080\u0099s was because of the slightly flawed and very harsh system put out by the government, that other schools probably didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t follow.
