Will work inside IR35. Or for food. -
A-Level Day. So called, because everyone gets an "A"... in every subject. Next stop: Uni to do Basket Weaving & Meeja Studies. Double-First virtually in the bag for all. -

From that linky:
Some universities have said that exam grades are no longer sufficient for them to use to select undergraduates.
Sounds both right & worrying.
Exam officials are stressing the hard work and determination that students have put in to earn their results this year.
Crap.Comment

I really do lament of NL and their "problem solving". Every young adult is not suited to higher education, yet NL insist on pushing them to remain in school/college/uni as long as possible.Originally posted by richard-af View Post
It's a shame because folk who work hard get put down by comments like the above.
My brother has worked his arse off trying to pass Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Chemistry basically on his own as the scholl he went to was so crap. We'll find out today whether Cambridge is going to happen or not."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip?

**** off, could you get 80% on an a-level maths paper today? Probably not without a fair bit of hard work.Originally posted by richard-af View Post"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Ah! But 80%, according to most A-Level maths pupils, is 0.8/10, so yes, I could achieve that.Originally posted by Moscow Mule View Post
Your kids getting their results, today, are they?Comment

Quite so. I have been tutoring someone in A-level maths, someone very good, I'm happy to say. Not only does it still require real intelligence and real work; there is stuff in there that I didn't do until university (or in some embarrassing cases, skipped at university).Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostWissen ist Macht, aber nichts wissen macht nichts.Comment

Brother gets results today (Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Chemistry). If he doesn't get into Cambridge then he's going to have to go to Durham. Poor little sod."See, you think I give a tulip.
