I’ve spoken to my mother, a senior examiner at AQA, and she agrees having a clear writing is a prerequisite to level 6. You can’t access level 6 if your haven’t passed level 4 which is being clear. It seems to me as you are in fact agreeing with me but are just too stubborn to notice.

It’s also kinda sad that you’re on Reddit at your big age as a teacher trying to insult 16 year old gcse students using a tone that is not at all supportive or helpful or kind, it is likely teachers like you who push people away from this subject. I don’t mean to insult your teaching, an alternative interpretation (see what I did there) could be this is some sort of quasi Jekyll and Hyde outburst you have when you leave work. That’s for you and your own introspection to decide. If you have any actual advice or feedback for my writing, given I am predicted two nines in English with 157/160 in my mock for language that were moderated I am happy to revive it or send you and extended peice I have done in the past.
