Progeny 2.0 got his #GCSE results this morning.
Pretty good. Perhaps dropped a couple of grades because of the harsher marking this year, but still good enough to get him into his A-level college.
But he didn't get a barrage of 9s so he's disappointed.
Before tomorrow's #GCSE exam results publication frenzy:
Just the regular reminder that despite the political spin around 'standard pass' at grade 4, GCSE grades 1 to 3 are not fail grades. A grade 1 is a GCSE pass, and is granted a level 1 qualification certificate. Grades 4+ get you a level 2 qualification.
This week Nick Gibb, the School Minister, broke cover and said as much - grades 1 to 3 are GCSE pass grades.
Don't tell children they have failed their GCSEs.
It blows my mind daily that the UK education system is based entirely around external examinations that purport to be objective, yet have the numbers of passes or fails openly determined by political whim rather than student attainment 🤷

Only three students took the Certificate of Proficiency in English, which cost them £3 at the time, and took 12 hours to complete.“

I know you thought it was #MothersDay last week. But my #NotSoSmallGirl had her #Graphics #GCSE exam (2x5 hours!!) so we’re having ours this week. Just waiting for the teen to awaken! Meanwhile, here’s the obligatory photo of my mum. Or two.

Oh the relief - my son has got onto all his first choice #GCSE courses! This is the fourth time we've been through this and those sodding blocks are always a pain. It's fascinating (to me) to see the differences and similarities in what each of the kids chose, going back over 15 years.
Now to count the days until there's no more Art or French!
