Mendonca In Asdas

My son gets his GCSE results today like many out there , I've managed to be pretty chilled about it all so far, don't worry son , you've tried your best etc, but now on the morning of finding out the results after turning on the tv and hearing grades are expecting to drop , I'm bricking it, anyone else in the same boat , parent or child?

My nephew got 9 A* and an A. The A was in Mandarin - and my sister is having it re-marked! Some people are never satisfied but then that is what is expected by some parents and more to the point some schools.

Congratulations to all those on here who have done as best as they had hoped. And to those that haven't all is not lost.

To anyone who has a bad day, don't despair. I did very badly with my O levels, but. 2 years later after various resits and then As the outlook was a lot better. You can bounce back from early setbacks. - just ask Yann...

Chirpy Red Junior's little brother got four A's and eight B's. All very pleased and quite suprised because as far as his parents could see he never did a stroke of homework in 5 years!

O-Levels were much harder weren't they?

Good luck to all those getting their's back today!!! Went through it last year so I know how you feel.

As for A-levels, well that's a totally different ball game as I found out last week.......

Only took science as I'm only just going into Year 11 now but I got a U back in march but worked my socks off and got an A in my controlled assessments and C's in my exam as they put me in for foundation. Couldn't be happier ATM!!!! Great way to start year 11 it's given me all the confidence I thought I could have had

4 A's, 5 B's, 1 C, BTEC (Double A*, Distinction and a Pass). Eldest daughter ranked 16th in her year. Would have been proud simply through the hard work she put in.

I was nervous last night and this morning as I feared that my GCSE Film Studies class might have performed poorly. Realistically, worse-case scenario was 70% passing. I hoped for 80%. When their results appeared on my laptop, I covered the screen with a sheet of paper and lowered it, anxiously, one-by-one pupil and jotted down their grades. When the pupil I was most concerned about scored a Level 5, my hopes rose...and by the end, the class had a 100% pass rate. Never done that before. I then drove into school to congratulate the kids collecting their results.

P.S. It's not an easy subject!

In the context of schooling during the pandemic you and your pupils have done a brilliant job.
You don’t have to defend your great subject, it likely has a more grounded reality than the reality of approach by examination boards.
Kudos to you, your pupils will always remember you.

I am not a fan of the opening of envelopes being televised. You wouldn't want to broadcast somebody getting disapointing grades and those getting the top marks know what they will get and are just rubbing other's faces in it even if they don't mean to. Good luck to them but I doubt those who have done badly like to see all that left right and centre.

Its been very tough for teachers and pupils during this time of covid. A huge well done to all. My daughter received her results yesterday. Very proud of her and all her friends. Put in tonnes of work. Huge disruptions, enormous staff shortages and endless changing of teachers to say nothing of the 2 years of hindered social development which may impact for many years to come. May God bless all of them.
