@Catsrcool69 there's been no communication at all from the English Faculty about DS1's (C) unmarked finals. So so sad for him but pleased he doesn't seem bothered.
What does a mum wear to a 'fake' graduation ceremony?? It feels wrong to be dressing up and potentially having photos etc, when DS1 isn't actually getting his degree or graduating. I think it feels almost worst of all that most of the college cohort will be graduating properly and hidden inside the group, a faction who will be walking up in Senate House to receive a blank piece of paper.
I wonder if any supervisors will be around at the college-based graduation event and if it would be awful of me to try and ask about the marking strikes and if there's any progress with the English Faculty? I don't want to ruin the day for anyone of course and I probably shouldn't get involved but it's very hard to act as if your son is graduating when he's only able to do a fake version of the event.
@JulesJules , at least Oxford are actively communicating with students and DS2 (O) History feels confident that all will be well by the time of his graduation later in the summer.
DS2 has progressed to the next stage for another of his career applications, which is good. I think he's currently waiting to hear back from about 5 places, although he doesn't tell me much. DS1 is actually still completing further applications even today but no positive outcomes for him so far, although he has progressed with one or two I think. Meanwhile, he's got lots on this coming week with his choir, as a choral scholar and sang at some alumnae college events and at a cathedral. His choir is rehearsing to make a recording this week.
