I don't understand the big story the media makes of this every year. It's been going on every summer for decades, and the media still make a big fuss about it. I can understand binman's interest (good luck to the boys) - because I was interested as well, when my kids were expecting their results. But apart from the kids and their parents - who cares?
can't wait
At least in Wales real results (from AS) means that schools, students and parents have a backstop. This side of Offa's my local MP is Spiderman Williamson and with 24 hours to go the government have moved the goalposts so anyone who doesnt like their grade can have a "remark"....which means schools will have to decide students' futures based on what the schools can afford to pay for the appeal....or get the parents to pay. Take back control said Boris 😂
Good luck and best wishes to anyone getting a grade tomorrow.
Hope all goes well 👍. My wife had a theory that those that had received unconditional university offers would have been given lower grades to enable the ones who needed higher grades to be given those grades. This would then allow the schools to buck the system. They've now decided that you'll get the grades you got at AS level (I believe) instead, but you can appeal. My daughter had an unconditional for primary education in Cardiff metropolitan, she can now still attend games ( if they're on😂)Quote:

Not good for the nerves.
My boys both got the grades they needed
One is off to Liverpool to study Architecture (He got lot of As)
The other to Cardiff Uni as he doesn't want to miss watching Cardiff City - he's been brought up properly!
Its a chance to recycle a story from the last few years without a lot of effort.Quote:

They can use the same "talking points" i.e. are exam getting easier etc that they were saying when I was doing A-levels more than 20 years ago, and they'll take the opportunity to print a photo of some attractive 18 year old girls getting their results
