Universities are offering unconditionals to younger students.

Not out of a spirit of generosity either.

The lesser unis are scared shitless of underrecruiting, and missing out on those £9Ks per year.

To me it's another effect of "competition". Less cool places attract less students, even if they do good teaching
. But the economies of those towns rely more on the University being healthy. Shrinking students will mean less local jobs and destroy local economies. How often has competition actually helped things

Congratulations Little Miss Epping !

And congratulations to @Epping as well. From seeing his spelling on here, who would have thought that his daughter would get on an English Literature degree at a good university !

This, I did maths, chemistry and physics in 1990 and they were much harder than GCSE. The kids did A levels a few years back and certainly for the maths and chemistry the standards seemed higher than when I did them.

Further maths this year was apparently very tough as there was too much of a gap in expectations between A Levels and 1st year of uni.

So a lot that were going to uni couldn't hack it

Well done to all the A level students today.

A levels are harder than they have ever been thanks to Michael Goves meddling and interfering.
 
Niece just found out her's. A* Sociology, A * psychology, A English. Off to Durham. Very proud of her, really put the work in and pleased for my sister who home schooled her (well to be fair my niece probably schooled herself :) ) at secondary school level due to anxiety problems at school, really come out of her shell now though.

They will have, but they just don’t post on here. Same with jobs and houses and that.

You can get the impression everyone on here drives a BMW, has a 250,000 detached house, works in senior management and has bairns at Durham, Edinburgh etc.

This is why people who use Insta and Facey all the time develop complexes because you’re bombarded with successful wealthy people because they’re the most vocal...you don’t hear about the young lad who got BCC and is going to Leeds Met, because his parents don’t post it online.

In the main though, those with the most to shout about, shout more and shout louder.

It’s fairly well-documented that this is the case and why social media has a recognised negative impact on mental health.

Going by this thread so far everyone is getting A* and going to top-tier universities.

It’s not a criticism, people are proud, and their bairns have worked very hard.

Things can also be very fake on Facebook. Someone I know posted about being so proud of their child today and that it was now official they were going to University. Cue loads of "well done" and "amazing" comments. What had been failed to mention was that the grades weren't great one was a U) and that the unconditional offer from said Uni had been recieved weeks ago. Boils my piss !!!
