None too chuffed with your A levels? Hey, why not bludgeon the exam boards with GDPR?

> Could be humbling

True, but being humble isn't fashionable anymore. Today it's all about being "special" (and everybody around you acknowledging this). Which means that any communication suggesting that you (or your child) is anything less than exceptional is considered an insult, a slur, and there are laws against that (You're a citizen, you have rights, and all that).

In the past a teacher would show you your errors and you would feel stupid and promise to try harder. Nowadays you just feel insulted and will file a civil lawsuit. Society progresses...
