My celebrations ended with someone in the RUH with alcohol poisoning. What a time 😂Curbsgoldenera said:Congratulations 🥳 Foxy those are terrific results.
Hope you have a plan to celebrate, I imagine you put in a lot of hard work and it’s certainly paid off.1 -
Well done Foxy, great results. Good luck in the next stage of your education.1

Well done @Foxycafc great results lad, be proud of yourself

Well done Foxy. I hope your studies planted a positive regard for Shakespeare.2

Congratulations, @Foxycafc.
Your skills in English language will be a valuable support for whatever you go on to do in the rest of your life - even joining the grammar police on here, if ever you felt so inclined!!!
An interesting selection of A-level subjects; I hope you get pleasure from your future studies, as well as a lot of hard work. There are no "easy" A-levels, just those better suited to your interests and skills.1 -
People reckon I’m a bit mental for doing two languages, but it’s what I enjoy and what I’m good atN01R4M said:Congratulations, @Foxycafc.

And it’s coming in handy here in sunny Spain 😂3 -
Farntastic results - well done for them and also for taking 2 languages at A-level!0

There is a lot of emphasis these days on the country's need for more STEM- qualified people in the workforce - and I would certainly endorse that viewpoint when it comes to the make up of the House of Commons! (Guess what; this comes from a retired physics teacher!)Foxycafc said:

However, in an interconnected world, an attitude that "English is a world language, so we don't need linguists" is not a good look for trade, commerce, or diplomacy at any level - including being a holiday-maker! - so I see nothing mental about studying 2 languages, especially ones which have different roots.
If you continue to enjoy languages at A-level, I hope it will inspire you to further and wider studies in this field and that it leads you to a satisfying.
Best wishes from chilly, cloudy, damp Cheshire!! (Grrr!)0 -
Smashed it, well done Foxy!Foxycafc said:

3 7s, 6 8s and a 9
Thats 3 As, 6 A* and a high A*
Better than I’ve done in any reports or mocks8s in 3 of my A Level subjects (German, Spanish and Biology) and a 7 in the other (History)
My first ever proper 9 I reckon, weirdly enough in English Language, the subject I felt I was worst at and didn’t particularly like (must have been the power of Millwall missing out on the playoffs the night before giving me some positive energy)
Can’t wait to properly get back into a routine with sixth form0 -
Well done @Foxycafc! I was beginning to worry that the radio silence was due to you not getting the grades you'd been predicted because you'd been too distracted by the Takeover thread, and your Mum had banned you from the forum as a result
Enjoy your holiday, and I hope you don't find the step up to A-Level too taxing.

I hope it’ll open a few doors for me, that’s part of the reason I’m attempting Arabic too (wish I was joking) - get me out to the Middle East and stick me on a Saudi contract!N01R4M said:

much harder than the other two, but it’s a bit like doing a jigsaw, the fun is in the difficulty!4 -
My only perspective from the great prospects in front of Foxy is to ponder the notion that what you choose to study and learn does not have to have anything to do with a future job, or what the country needs, or being a way of making money.
Education has a wider brief that being a utilitarian enterprise, it has to satisfy what you're interested in and what you want personally.4 -
How you got the time to revise with all the time you've spent on here, who knows!Foxycafc said:

Now, as a newly qualified master of the English language, can you tell me if it is acceptable in these modern times to casually split infinitives?

Cant see how else I’m supposed to stick an adverb next to an infinitive so it gets the thumbs up from meIdleHans said:

I suppose you could put the adverb after get, in your sentence, or at the end of the question in mine.Foxycafc said:

Good answer though! And not splitting infinitives is a Victorian affectation anyway, I think it's entirely acceptable now.0 -
For those getting results today, and all those families and friends, and the hard working teachers too, I hope it is a very positive day.
Even though exams are not the be all and end all in a life, society has established them as a significant milestone.
So for everybody nervous and excited today you have my best wishes.6 -
And hopefully those that pass in Maths will be able to subtract 80 from 100 without the aid of a ‘machine’ ! 😉😆😉😆seth plum said:For those getting results today, and all those families and friends, and the hard working teachers too, I hope it is a very positive day.

Cheers. It was sad to see some of the girls upset yesterday as their results obviously weren’t what they wanted. Can’t have helped them having others screaming with delight.lordromford said:

Apparently 23.4% of pupils taking Maths and English GCSEs this year were on re-sits, so not alone and not the end of the world, although I guess it feels like it.DaveMehmet said:

The cohort who have just had GCSE’s were amongst those with the worst lockdown disruption to their schooling.
Well done to all whatever the final grade achieved.3 -
Congratulations to all the pupils who worked hard to get their results especially considering the disruption caused by COVID.
Also a special well done to the parents of children in our Public Schools, who despite the vitriol slung at them and the VAT, being added kept them in some of the finest schools in the country. I know from personal experience how much you sacrificed to support your children.

Nipper got three 6s, five 7s and a 9. The 9 being in English which was her most hated subject and what was predicted to be her lowest grade...Which is even more shocking when you read the state of the texts she sends!
