DD's school is quite hot on exams, presumably to get them used to the rigours of GCSEs. Dd seemed to do loads of revision but her results have started coming in and she is bitterly disappointed. She managed 65% and 67% on two maths papers, which I thought was fine as maths has never been her strongest subject and only 55% in Physics which was less than the class average.
I am stuck in hospital so I am not on hand to manage her disappointment. I would hate for her to get disillusioned and give up trying. There seems to be an obsession with getting A grades but not everyone can be an A student. She has two very clever and pushy best friends which no doubt makes her feel worse.
My poor lamb.
