leave them be chloe.....let them take pride in their multiple A*'s at GCSE while they're still at the age to think they actually MEAN something!

Yes what was the point of this thread.

They never get to the point of meaning nothing I guess - even with an oxbridge degree I guess most people still stick their GCSEs on their CVs.

Though perhaps not their D in English Literature :redface:

Wouldn't have thought people would do that. Perhaps A-Levels, but putting GCSEs on would look a bit odd if you have a degree.

but lets be fair...at their age our GCSEs meant something to us! Even right now my A Levels mean something to me....considering that some of the stuff i'm being taught was part of my A Level course, hence why I still feel A Levels were important. But gcse's are a distant thing...completely trivial and unimportant.

That's quite a feat of double-think-cum-empathy you managed in that post.

I'm afraid I'm old enough that I did O-levels - which didn't mean much either - but some substantial cramming went on that I think I'd have trouble repeating.

Sorry - can't get the phrase "cum-empathy" out of my head now. :puke:

Out of interest, were you the Queen's physicist who walked back to get their bike from the racks outside the Atmospherical building after today's Quantum Ideas lecture? I'm still not sure who you are, but I noticed he had a Queen's hoodie on!

No I'm afraid. That sounds like Jon. You know a girl with curly ginger hair? She's quite noticeable. I'm probably sitting somewhere near her, usually on the left of the lecture hall.

Oh, I was the one who said "steamships" in the S3 lecture, but I don't suppose you'll remember that. I've also decided to give up on those lectures, I'm confident in my knowledge of that already, and also it doesn't count for much.

Well, of course, GCSEs are a stepping stone to A-levels, are a stepping stone to a Degree, is a stepping stone to a job, is the stepping stone to a better job...

You could argue that nothing is relevant except for what you are doing at that very point in time.

For everyone that is complaining about "this type of thread"....these threads may actually be useful if people only posted what the thread starter asked rather than complaining!

....and yes I am aware of the irony of my post.
