Target grades are made up. They have no validity. Nobody can defend them. They've also helped create a bizarre orthodoxy in which we discuss what grades kids "should get" which is just insane. Just have a think about what nonsense that is. The "grade they should have got "

Agree - they should never be used. Ever. It’s a ridiculous idea. The number one question every teacher should consider is: do your pupils work hard enough? Both in lessons and at home. If the answer is no, do something! THAT is the target.
