I think England need to get into the current technology age. Kids in Scotland can get them posted, texted or emailed to them as they choose - absolutely no requirement to traipse into school for results unless they want to discuss appeals (which can also be done online or over the phone)
Ds wanted to collect his GCSE results with his mates and see all his teachers to thank them and say goodbye as his school doesn't have a sixth form. We waited outside for an hour and a half in the car whilst he did that. He did text us to say his results were great so we weren't worrying. As a group they also supported a friend who didn't get the grade he needed to carry on a subject at sixth form and therefore needed to choose another A level. He was glad of the support.
Being in school meant he was told that he was the second highest mark in a particular subject, he got to find out what other people achieved and joined in their celebrations, not friends, just classmates, acquaintances. He wouldn't have missed it for the world.
For A levels parents are invited into the building as they know even if you just gave them a lift every day or bus fare you still provided some sort of support for your child.
Parents are much more involved in their child's education these days. My parents never had to sign a parent/school agreement to say they understood the school rules and would help their child abide by them. They didn't have to sign a planner every week to say their child has completed their homework. My son's school has several parental involvement evenings, they want us involved, far more chance of success for a child.
