Anybody else got kids involved? Hope they've done well ....

I'm sat (since 6am) watching to make sure systems don't die and stop us taking phone calls from desperate teenagers. Would be happier without the lightning outside, all our computer systems are annoyingly electric :-) .

Well done to all those who've achieved the results they wanted, it's a lot of hard work for what are, after all, youngsters.

Yes my middle one is off to Uni! So I'll be even poorerand so far all their friends seem to have got in or found alternative places!

Three straight B's for my stepdaughter, so very happy. She's about to start an apprenticeship, so things are off to a good start for her.

That was a mahoosive clap of thunder and lightning strike about 5 mins ago..

I got 3 As - maths, further maths and physics.

Granted it was 22 years ago but I'm still slightly celebrating.

....another example of grade inflation. Standards are slipping.......in my day you were lucky to get two Es

To be fair, in your day maths hadn't been invented yet,

There were some serious rumbles in Eltham, where our Clearing is based, although we have some additional/DR in Greenwich. Seem to have survived it all although I made a statistics fropah which may have left my Director with egg on his face, kind of glad it's not really part of my job.

You would have A***+ these days...

When did the star make an appearance, not seen one post anywhere I visit that had less than B's lots of A & A*.

Exams these days are just too easy..









Had to done, it was my duty.

Oh my eldest got A* Biology A Maths and A* Art.

She is taking a year out to build funds because I can't afford nor do I particularly want to fund her next 4/5 years in University. She is working in Lush in London and is loving every minute of it, on a decent wage for an 18 year old and living the life. I have a feeling she might blow out University and stick at working. And you know what it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I somehow feel it should but it doesn't. I am dead proud of her whatever she decides to do with her life.

Our daughter got a B in English Language/Literature a B in History and a C in Psychology, She's happy with that but not too sure about going to university this year.

Euclid and Pythagoras sat next to me in class

Euclid and Pythagoras sat next to me in class

One in front and one next to you, so the three of you formed a right triangle?

My daughter took a couple if years out, has travelled and worked to get funds together for Uni. She took a philosophy a and a/s level this year to up her grades (all distance learning with no tutor as such). To her delight and mine she had got into her university of choice, Goldsmiths and now has student life to look forward to.
I am most relieved as her plan B was travelling around Columbia.
