Can you ever relax on holiday knowing the exam results are on their way? I hope your kids all did as well as they deserved in their GCSE’s and A Levels this year! Of all the Heir Raising problems, exams have got to be right up there, no? On the whole, most parents are pretty sympathetic to other children’s poor results unless they also happen to be a School Governor !! Oh Yes! The League Tables have A LOT to answer for. Even mild-mannered, caring, intelligent mothers who would have a go at Lollipop Lady-ing in a crisis, or even slopping out school dinners to the kids during a staff shortage, seem to turn into ferocious Miss Jean Brodies at the idea their school will fall a little lower in the lists.
