How’s everyone else feeling about results day? I’ve got one at uni already and 2nd dd hoping to go to Kent in September. She seems ok about it at the moment although think that will change as it gets closer. Me I’m so keeping my fingers crossed she gets what she wants, I know there will always be other options but she loved the open day. Going to struggle with this one going though as it has been a real journey to get to where she is.

If you get bored on the drive to drop your DCs off at uni you could always play "Spot the other cars with returning uni students in". Extra points if you can make a convincing case for whether they're a fresher or not. If the car is absolutely rammed, it's probably a fresher.

Re the private school choice - musing over last week Dd and her state school mates are happy polite thriving in a lovely group all heading off to the universities of their choice or second choice. My friends teens at the local states are same.

Other friends with their dc at the local private schools are in exactly the same position - certainly no better and going to the same universities. They could have easily gone to the state schools too so it’s not as if the state option was horrendous. I genuinely don’t get what it is they’ve spent all that money for. I really don’t.

School isn’t just about going to university. I don’t think anyone thinks state school kids don’t go to Uni. My kids went to private, they both went or are going, to ordinary unis. Do I regret them going private? Not a bit.
