Dr PhFleecyD Aug 2020 5:34pm, 12 Aug 2020 50,584 posts	Quote Pin Dr PhFleecyD Email from college: signed off ‘don’t panic’ Basically schools and unis completely taken unawares by the latest announcement. They don’t know if their mocks qualify (they’re a massive 6th form college and very organised so hopefully that side will be fine) and are basically encouraging anyone who gets a place to take it. What an omnishambles

There have been 4 months to consult on the best way to do this so to be moving the goalposts 48 hours before (and days after in the case of Scotland) is unforgiveable.
Dr PhFleecyD Aug 2020 6:11pm, 12 Aug 2020 50,585 posts	Quote Pin Dr PhFleecyD The only silver lining is the demographic dip plus fewer overseas students mean that unis will really want to take students even if they miss their grades
Lorraine Aug 2020 7:09pm, 12 Aug 2020 1,565 posts	Quote Pin Lorraine It’s one almighty mess caused by something not one of us could have predicted. I real feel for everyone getting results tomorrow. I hope you all managed to get some sleep tonight, it’s hard enough in a normal year but this and the heat is awful. Occupational health have to sort this out for her by 7th September or she losses her place and that will destroy her but it’s out of our hands.
