7 Bs 3 C's and 2 D's Not the grades he expected but 10 passes so will be going to Shelley to do A levels
Well Done Ben <img src ="http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/dunningham/web%20images/webcard%20PASSED1%20300x214.jpg"> from The Big Lils xxxx
RE: Aww bless him. Maths with stats, physics, ebg lang, biology and eng lit then general studies. Got B's in all the ones he wants to do
Wow. Knowing Ben I know he'll have worked very hard. So much for the "exams are so easy these days brigade". The pressure was on us to pass our exams ('O' levels) the kids these days have pressure on them to get A grades.
RE: 6 A levels , how many hours a week do they do in Sixth Form these days. at Barnsley college it 4.5 hours per subject and your son ben ( i presume he's your son) didn't get 10 passes he got 12 passes D E F and G are not fails I do not know why people see these as fails a U is a fail I think its because schools put you under so much pressure to get at least C's everyone thinks a D is a fail
RE: Colleges usually say you need C grades oh to be accepted onto A level courses you do at least 5 A-C and 1 has to be Englsih or maths but 6 A levels? at Barnsley college they onli let u do 4 A levels if you get at least 3 B's and they will let u do 5 if u get exceptional grades but not 6! thats too much work surely
Goes back to the O level system where A-C were 'passes' and below was a fail. If you wanna do A levels you HAVE to have at least 5 A-C. GCSEs are a politically correct way of failing no one
Thats what he's starting at AS level having been 'Gifted & Talented' since he was 10 he was expected to get exceptional grades but blew it being bone idle and not giving his best to the coursework. He's upset cos he's let himself down Anyway he's not going to Barnsley College he's going to Shelley High 6th Form. I'm sure he'll drop at least 1 subject after AS level when he's decided between reading for the Bar or doing Sports Science to be an sports analyst. He he I bet he chooses somert completely different in the end
Not from Leeds Fest no and I am proud he got 10 good grades. The one who's been robbed never reads it... too busy with porn n tissues when he's online
well done Ben....I guess but its acknowledged by education experts that the present day certification is a dumbed down system compared to the old GCE "O" Level.Not saying Ben is dumb.But IAm saying that in this lazy era our kids are handed them on a plate.....Nar when I were a lad tha had to feyt 15 bulls and mek love to 10 virgins afore tha could even gerrin in t'exam room... I allus thowt it were a load of **** & Bull missen ...but rose t'occassion manfully.
and Ben tek heart and just look at thi Mam..at least tha sat nearer front in t'class than her..... hihihihihi..... the ice I skate upon is getting thinner and thinner and ...aarrrrrrrrggggghhhh
