When Do School Grades Stop Being Important?
It is sometimes curious to find employers dishing out job offers with the precondition that the prospect employee achieve a certain level of grades upon graduation. Head-scratching how that would work, considering that under the British system with its all-or-nothing 100% final exam system, the final results will not be available until the November after graduation, when the new employee is already, perhaps, been working full-time for quarter of a year. So what if the expected level of grades was not achieved? Does that mean the employee is then fired, not taking into account the good work of last 3 months?
