I'm sick of celebrities falling over themselves to say how bad their exam results were

Here it is, the annual media circus surrounding GCSE results - and with it the onslaught of celebrities writing variations upon, “Don’t worry, I failed all mine and look at my multimillion pound fortune! Real entrepreneurs like me don’t have time for A*s, after all.” From Lord Sugar and Jeremy Clarkson's almost militant anti-education stance, teaming up in the Sunday Times to tell us, with eye-rolling bravado, “Schoolchildren are always told that they must work hard in lessons and pass their exams or they will end up as a health and safety officer. But this is emphatically not the case. I did not work hard at school” to Richard Branson quite literally telling us to just forget about it in a Virgin blog post entitled “Forget exam results”, celebrities practically fall over themselves at this time of year to announce how terribly they performed in academia and how they’re happy about it, goddammit, because who wants to be a silly old geek anyway?
