Only sign this if you live in Wales


Reason
In GCSE Welsh Baccalaureate you learn nothing of value, in my opinion and a couple of months ago I was horrified that we will be dropping a GCSE for C.R.A.P (actually taught).
Therefore the GCSE is listed under "softer" GCSE's such as drama and music.
I believe that another GCSE taught would be much much better, because if you have knowledge and half decent presentation skill would be much better than having half knowledge and very good presentation skills.
I also know why we are doing this silly subject when 98% of children hate Welsh Bacc, it is scientifically proven that we all do better in things we enjoy compared to things we hate and I also believe that there is no point in doing this subject if we all hate it.
I agree that it might have some benefit like give acronym makers... only joking but it does help in assessing and developing ideas therefore because it has some value I think that this may be kept as a GCSE but not compulsory.

Please if you need convincing then reply and I will tell you why

Isn't that petition pretty pointless? Shouldn't you do one that has to be discussed in the WAG

Correct, however the Welsh assembly government has a 50 signatures minimum before discussed

My friend did a presentation on the Welsh Bacc for his Welsh Bacc presentation. I believe, a couple of years ago now mind, that the conclusion was that the original set-up was a very worthwhile course however what is being practiced is not.

However, if you just miss out on your university place then this qualification suddenly become the bees knees when talking to admissions. Also, going back to the story, being allowed to create a presentation and whatever else you have to do can lead to some really interesting and well put together research (something worthwhile) if you are willing to take on that hard work.
