Today is a big day for school kids here - exam results day. Our system is a bit different, you do 2 sets of exams, one at about 16, then one at 17 - your junior year of HS I suppose. You do more at the first set, then they get more advanced so you drop some classes and people do up to 5 subjects. Those are the grades that you basically get into college with.
My middle kid is away with my wife visiting family - so he got his results by text message at 3am! He's had a tough couple of years like everyone, bombed a couple of the practice exams they did earlier in the year but then told us he was getting his act together but it's hard to tell.
Today - all top grades. Couldn't have done any better.
Just wanted to tell someone as I won't see them for a couple more days. My kid can be an astronaut if he wants!
