Eglu Go With 2m Run For Sale

[Egluntyne]

Well done all.

[jam]

I'm in year 10. Phoned the school first thing this morning!

A in geography

B in physics

A* and 3 A's in some papers I dont even remember doing!!! Maybe they were IAA'S...

 

Anyway, Im glad I didnt get a U in physics like I thought I would!!

 

Well done to everyone else who sat exams this year and good luck for the next ones!

[Couperwife]

What a fantastic lot of results, everybody. What a talented lot the Omlet folk and their youngsters are! Everybody should feel very proud today

[hazard]

DD got 8A* 1A 1B

[grracee]

Well done everyone!

My younger sister got 8 A*'s and 4 A's so proud of her

[chickencam]

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

[Seagazer]

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.

[ubereglu]

Well Done everyone!

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.

[Lewis]

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!

[Chucky Mama]

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

[Seagazer]

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

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

[ubereglu]

I got £5 for each A*-C grade I got for my GCSEs last year.

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!

Apparently it was £150-£200 for some if they got A*s

[bellekatz]

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!!)

I'd better start revising now then!

Apologies to LCL's parents

I was promised another hen because I was top of my year for Science and Maths. Never happened .

[Chucky Mama]

Did you get that in writing

[LuckyChickenLover-]

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!
