AD, how old are "Year 11" students? Here, in 11th grade, they're 16 or 17.

I feel bad for anyone under 65 to be named Harriet.

The day my kids are allowed to used l337 5p34k on an exam is the day I yank them from public schools...

Oh wait, they ain't going to public school anyway.

I don't really see anything wrong with this, given that most exams are still taken by hand. Some people just don't write with a pen or pencil as quickly as others do, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who ends up a faster or slower writer. As long as the words make sense within the context of so-called "txtspeak", I don't see where it's any different that allowing the use of the & symbol in place of "and".
