It's a fact Maggy.
From the link I provided, and you probably didn't bother reading.

We asked schools and colleges to submit centre assessment grades (CAGs) ..........In general, the CAGs submitted were optimistic. This is understandable and in line with the evidence from previous research. Our recent interviews with teachers who’ve been through the process this summer confirms that – they told us that they tended to think about how each student would perform on a good day, while knowing that every year some students have bad days. This was particularly the case for borderline students.

Teachers are humans and they have feelings for their students, and they would always give them the BoD. That is totally understandable.
But it also inflated the results.
Unless you think class of 2019 if 40% better than previous years?
I still the Gov, played it badly. They tried to do the right thing the wrong way.
It can work both ways. Class of '19 may be considered as having an advantage over other years, or their grades may be considered with suspicion for years to come.
