congrats budDaughters just got in at Mcr uni. Very proud dad :)
No wonder theres so many job vacancies.Congratulations to those who got the results you wanted.
However, for those that didn't, don't worry too much about it. Further education isn't for everyone. Most employers still look for employees with common sense and those willing to graft.
I left school with 6 "O" levels, started work at 17 and did loads of overtime when I was young.
It enable me to buy my first property at 21, become mortgage free at 32 and retire at 50.
Cheers muckercongrats bud

On a similar theme, my eldest daughter, who always struggled with maths, said last night that her biggest and proudest academic achievement wasn't the distinction in her physiotherapy Masters degree, it will always be the B in GCSE mathsCongrats to all those who got what they wanted to get and for all those that didnt dont worry there's plenty more to come.
On a side note bit of a proud uncle moment as my niece just got into durham, thats the clever side of the family.
Big congratulations. What's she studying?Daughters just got in at Mcr uni. Very proud dad :)
Had a headteacher once, in a school I worked at, who had complaints from a parent for not putting his son's name, who had straight A*, in the local paper. The head turned to him and said "i have a student who has gained 8 C's. If you knew her background, what she's had to overcome, how hard she's had to work, you'd realise that her achievement is greater than your son's. If i can't put her name in the paper i'm not putting anyone's in." That's always stuck with me and how we should really measure success.On a similar theme, my eldest daughter, who always struggled with maths, said last night that her biggest and proudest academic achievement wasn't the distinction in her physiotherapy Masters degree, it will always be the B in GCSE maths
You're voluntarily letting a family member go to the land of the dippers? Dont you care about your family ;)Nephew got A in maths and 2 Bs. So off to study accountancy in scouse land.
tbh there probably is a degree in that somewhere by now lolCongrats to all those who did well, & those that didn’t ( I was once one of those! ) you’ll be fine.
On related topic, If they do a degree in FC25 analysis & rinsing Netflix, then I think my 16 year old will be OK!!
