I EXPECT many 50-something men will recognise this route.

First Lethbridge Road, then Sanford Street and finally Commonweal, the history of my schooling in the 1960s, just standard, nothing remarkable.

Yet I would have placed any one of my classmates then against the six of you featured in Friday's edition and come up with better answers.

Do not blame the students, but the educational system.

But the main point of my letter is this year after year we keep being told the A-level results are getting better.

How? Unless, of course, the questions are getting easier after all.
