grracee Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Well done everyone! My younger sister got 8 A*'s and 4 A's so proud of her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Bit late on this, we are away but came back for results. ED got 9 A*s and 2 A's, she got A* in design which is amazing considering there was a 12 mark chunk of the paper which they hadn't been taught, she was really upset after the exam, but I know that she is her own worst critic, so I was hopeful even if she wasn't! DS took Geology and got an A, he is 14(just finished yr9) and did it in his own time, 3 lunchtimes per week for the year. They didn't finish the syllabus either. We are so proud of him He was in shock and so happy he cried. We are really happy and proud of our children, one of those days when it is really good to be a parent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well done everyone, great results. Liz, well done to your DD and especially to your DS, great stuff at just 14 and good determination on his part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 ES has just come back from spending the evening with friends. One friend got paid £100 per A (he got 3). Does anyone else 'reward' their children with cash for good results? We went out for a curry to celebrate and I have bought a kg of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans as a treat. Would have cost us £1100 if we had paid £100 per A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 I didn't get that much! ... but did get something for my GCSE's. Parentals wanted to buy me something but didn't want/need anything. I know some people that do get similar amounts to that though - think one friends parents are planning to buy her a scooter/moped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think one thing that bothers me about this is that some children are not capable of getting A*s and A's. I wonder if parents who have children capable of getting a C through hard work offer cash rewards for C's? Or if within a family of mixed ability children would I get cash for an A and another for a C? I am not a fan of giving cash for exam results. Mine usually get food rewards for trying their best. Yay, Jelly Beans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 We just took our eldest two out for a lovely meal to celebrate their GCSE results, they are of mixed ability. Would seem very unfair to only give one money for A or A* although my DD probably wouldn't agree with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well I'm too young to have done my GCSEs yet but when the school reports come out at the end of every year I usually get £1 for every 'Above Average' I get. I know GCSEs are important but £100 pet A seems a bit extravagant. Anyway, well done everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I got £5 for each A*-C grade I got for my GCSEs last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 We got YS an Iphone - he is an incentive type of of person (ie he needs bribing!) and for that he had to get everything he was predicted or better......and he did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I know GCSEs are important but £100 pet A seems a bit extravagant. Apparently it was £150-£200 for some if they got A*s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 my son got £30 for his one A this year. I would give £20 for a B and £10 for a C - below that I know that havent put any effort in My daughter also got some for her AS levels ( £90 altogether for a B and 3xC's) I give them the money so they can buy what they want or save it. Recently they have both been putting this sort of money towards their expedition funds so it has gone towards something htey are working for I was given money by my Dad 30 years ago for my O and A level results - it was an incentive to work hard and do well ( I think!!)

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Did you get that in writing I should have done! I should get my parents to write down everything they promise me and then cash them all in when I'm like 20. I can have a whole flock then!
