The whole grades thing was doomed to failure no matter what approach was taken.
They are getting accused of postcode pottery when in reality it was more affluent schools over grading. Had they gone with 100% of teachers estimations then Scottish Tories would have accused the government of buying people with grades

Said this at the start, and also when the results came out. No method would work perfectly and would always be criticised. Everyone is looking for someone to blame, and the government can’t say anything about the others involved-either the teachers or the SQA.
