Not meaning to make you more depressed (your son may be different to me) but my parents gave me a hard time after my GCSE's, when I didn't revise, and met none of my target grades, and it didn't make the slightest bit of difference - well, this time I didn't revise, but somehow did get my target grades...

^ +1 - i usually treat everything my parents say as reverse psychology, unless it ends in me getting something good :D


one method which does work is paying children for good grades, works wonders

Nice one mate!

An Ex of mine did Archeology at Winchester. Very interesting subject. She's a primary school teacher now, as there are not a lot of jobs in Archeology. Tell me to mind my own business but I'd go for something with real prospects. I hope you don't get offended by that.

Good luck!

There are so many skilled people turning up in this country for jobs and getting them!

I didnt revise for my GCSE's hardly at all and passed all of em (Except RE which isnt even a real subject, and besides, I'm not religious so I dont care :D).. AS Levels are a bit harder though, I just hope I can re take one of the business exams to get a better grade, coz the other ones a B which is pretty good..

I didn't do much at school in exams but made up for it at college. I did a 3 year Toolmaking day release course and came out of the with some Credits. I had to learn all my maths that I never did at school in a few weeks really. Trig and all the scary stuff. I can't remember any of it now as I don't use it. My lecturer said don't worry son we get lads like you all the time. If you keep the learning part of you mind always open then you can learn what you like. That's why we're all here!

What I have got from my school days though is my very first plectrum! A Jim Dunlop .60mm from 1980! I used coins before that as I didn't even know what one was!  :lol:

Yeah I hear you guys and I shall have to resort to promising the mercenary sod some cash. My eldest son did amazingly well with little effort as he was , apart from being a superb singer and keyboard player) a genius at computers and took the view that whatever they taught you at school and college regarding IT, was already out of date in the real world and in spite of some terrible decisions in his personal life, whe has always worked and has done ok(now lives in the USA).His brother, however, is perhaps brighter in terms of outright intellect though is bone idle and knows it all-good natured but no drive.If it has to be bribary then so be it but he knows exactly what I think of his efforts.He knows that I love him to bits and he knows too that I am not a nag so to his credit, he does recognize that when I do have a go at him something must be up.
