How to fail exams with dignity

February 17, 2009

Business groups like the CBI are forever bemoaning the quality of school leavers nowadays. Poor literacy and numeracy and a lack of 'employability' skills - like turning up on time for the interview - mean employers are being let down by the education system.

But despairing HR people should look at these pics taken from students' exam papers and rejoice. For they show great innovation, a ready wit and a real 'I don't give a f*ck' attitude - just what Guru thinks UK Plc needs at the moment.

They also demonstrate what most of us already suspect - they what kids are taught in school these days has no real relevance to the world of work.

Absolutely hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing.
