My Son received his A-Level results today, he did brilliantly but still dropped two grades from what his teachers predicted at the end of last year. I guess this is the problem with an algorithmic decision, the middle of the bell curve will be mostly fine but those at either end it's more hit and miss. Fortunately for him he managed to bag his second choice University, but missed out on his first choice by one grade. Still, his second choice is one of the best schools in the country so we're very pleased for him. It's going to take a while for things to settle down I reckon, there are quite a few upset people out there! Finding someone who's totally satisfied with the way things have panned out might be like finding the proverbial needle in the hAy-level stack!
