Are the matric results better than expected?

[bwana]

With a pass rate of 76.2% do you agree that the matric class of 2020 did 'better than expected' given the circumstances?

How do you think 2021 will compare?

Nope. They should’ve done better considering they were home all year to study and hardly had any booze.

But they had home-made pineapple "Juice"

Brewing was definitely on my kids' 2020 science curriculum

Overall though they didn't take to online learning as well as I had hopped hoped.

Should have turned that online shooter game, whatever it's called into a educational game

It's pretty bad that so many still fail when they only need a mark of 30-40%

Then their physics scores should be through the roof.

Like the cake, the covid stats, and Eskoms PR department, the matric results are a lie.

Most likely. And I think some might have been given extra marks just to push them through...

Honestly, I'm glad Covid wasn't around for my Matric year; I don't think all the distractions and being able to chill at home all day would've done me any good.

I think you mean 23%:

The government has instructed South African schools to give Grade 4 – 9 learners up to 5% extra marks for up to three subjects if this will help them pass the 2020 academic year.

I see what you did there

I wish I could take credit for that, but it's just a case of poor spelling.

Meant physical science as school bundles them up. But putting your moonshine still together must require some physics before the chemistry begins.
