Have to disagree with you over that one...I think it was a perfectly reasonable offer myself especially if I wanted the grade.
As for the medical reason that I think was probably a lie.IF he had even had the problem in the first place he would have gone straight to his Head of Year with a medical note or note from his parents about the lack of correct footwear and the reasons why and got a note signed by the HOY to the effect that he had special privilages to wear trainers.This could have been his way to get himself into the exam wearing the trainers.
Anyway I'm bored with this subject now..We are just going round in circles and arguing for the sake of it.Frankly I'm amazed at the people who usually insist that today's teenagers have no respect for rules who have been rather voluble about letting a child off keeping to the rules.
Maybe that's the problem with today's society, we reserve the right to pick and choose the rules we will obey.
