My daughter received her AS levels results yesterday (she's away so they came by post). We weren't expecting great grades because though she's pretty bright, we didn't believe she'd done enough work. ..... , despite the nagging, encouragement, threats, cajoling, bribery etc........sigh.
Failed maths and got C and a D in others 2. V frustrating as she's always had great reports but last couple years her commitment as really dipped.
Anyway............
Tried ringing school, just got answer machine. Another parent went in person to discuss something and was told no one available as school officially closed. Thought that odd on a results day (?!) but there we are.
Really don't know what to do next. Have chatted to a few people who say to resit the year but not even sure if school will give that as an option. Hubby says she must resit, including the maths (she'll no doubt need extra tuition on that as well tho). I do think if she knuckled down, if she pulled her finger out and if she took this a lot more seriously, she could turn it around (but that's a lot of 'ifs').
Will school even let her resit them, especially the maths?
What about college for resits?
How do unis view resits?
Really hoping this will have given her a kick up the backside - I always said that she found school far too easy and that when it came to GCSe/Alevels she'd have a shock if she didn't work at them, sooooo wish I'd been wrong on that one.
