"I will help my pupils maximise their coursework marks"

I think we all know this goes on and a piece in the TES is quoting teachers.

"I will help my pupils maximise their coursework marks just as I often rote teach to get them through exam questions. This is not cheating"

I agree entirely, it isn't cheating, but it isn't learning either. If the QCDA is brave enough to follow through on the principles of Functional Skills,

doing FS will mean this stops and the focus goes back to learning.
