Dd1's still asleep but can't go in until 10pm and only arrived back from a week of camping last night.
Otoh ds kindly woke me at 7am because he thought I might want a hug. Very sweet, but I'd rather be ignorantly asleep at present.
Hamster me and dd1 were saying similar last night. All very well if you're the one to get the phone call, but I bet there's several conversations along the lines of:
"Hi, you know we arranged to go in together to pick up results?"
"Yes, you still up for it?"
"Well, I've just had a phone call from school to ask me to go in early for a press shoot."
"Why?"
"Mum says it means I've done well, I'm really excited. I'll wait afterwards for you if you like."
"No, don't worry, I'll see you later." puts phone down. "Mum, I know I've done badly, they've asked those who did well to come in..."
Although dd1 says her school doesn't do that and even if they did (being a practical person) she wouldn't be asked because all such things are arranged by the rather domineering drama teacher so it would be firstly people who had done well in drama and any extras making sure they had a mix to show a diversity the school doesn't really have. 
ShowandTell but with that attitude, there were people disappointed not to get an A* and before that an A, and dm taught people who would be getting upset that they didn't get a C (or in some cases a G).
In some ways I wish they hadn't put it in, but that's more because in English dd1 would never be near an A so no pressure there, but in maths she should have been able to get A without huge amounts of work, so putting the 9 in gave her the extra pressure-but it then means she had more interesting maths last year.
Piggy lit is the one that dd1 is really bad at. She never has really got what we used to call comprehension well. She doesn't read between the lines. She's hoping her lang will make up for it.
