It's that time of year...

... when school children take their exams.

Here we have had sats & end of year exams before

but this is the first time we have had GCSE's.

I do remember sitting mine

in the dim & distant past !

When a C grade was a pass !

Now all people seem to care about is how many A's

or A*'s have been achieved.

When did this change ?

I sincerely hope my kids do their best

on the day

and that is good enough by me.

These results may effect the path they take in life

but they will be the ones to shape this journey.

If I could give them one wish for their future...

... it would be to be happy.
