GRADES: A-level results student still a disappointment to his family.
Covid-19 restrictions led to most A-Level students exam results being pushed down a grade due to moderation based on generalisations. The government then, of course, flip-flopped their policy and decided that the predicted grades would be honoured. This changed a lot of peoples grades - even Edmond Sneeble, 17, from Moordown.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Echo Factposting, Edmond tells us his story.
“I was never a great student, my grades were due to be four C grades. When they sent my grades to the moderators, on results day I picked up two D grades and 2 E grades. I sat thinking, I know - I’ll go to AUB with those grades! Easy! And then after the turnaround and we got them changed again, I got my 4 C grades. With them grades I was ecstatic! I was gonna get into Bournemouth Uni!”
His joy was not long lived however, as he explains “the thing is, I know I’m a waster, so I’ll do my sports management degree and then take a job in my daddy’s accounting firm for £40,000 straight out of uni no matter where I study.”
Some were not as happy however, as Mrs & Mr Sneeble reached out to us: “he thinks this is a great thing, when he’s still the family disappointment. Nobody wants him over for christmas because he’ll just do shots and vomit on the table like always - we spent thousands putting him through private education and for what? We should have got him adopted. But now he’s moving out, we can finally have a happy life with our real son - Bingo the golden labrador.”
When looking into this further, we discovered in a street-poll that only 13% of those questioned in Bournemouth could spell the word spoon.
