A Level "cure"

The latest set of A Level results is out and the pass rate was marginally higher. This of course precipitated the usual arguments over whether they're too easy and what can be done to make them harder.

None of these "experts" seems to have hit unpon the theory that maybe, with the internet and computers and all the other technology available to aid learning, people are just actually finding it easier to study and get the information they need to pass their exams? When I went did my GCSE's, any research was done in the library looking through books. Nowadays, I'd be on the internet and doing it in a fraction of the time and probably with better results.

Anyway, the best "cure" for the A Level debate I've heard so far is this. Restrict the number of A grades to a certain percentage of the students. Great solution. That means you could take your A levels next year and actually do better than somebody who got an A last year but because of quota's you only get a B. That's fair.
