     Tomorrow Kirstin has the opportunity to find out her standard grade results online a day earlier than they will arrive in the post. She says she isn't going to bother and is going to wait for the postman on Tues. I know she is worried that she hasn't done very well.

     She has given me her password etc for the on line service and I am so tempted to have a look but know I shouldn't and should respect her privacy. Would you look and pretend you hadn't or would you wait. I feel like such a cruel mummy for wanting to go behind her back and really know that I should wait until she finds them out.

If she has given you the passwords is that not a go ahead to look but not tell her?

As tempting as it would be I think I would personally like to hear it from them myself and wait till the postal results. Its the child that has put in the hard work and its their big day really!

I wish her all the best and I really hope she gets the grades she wants! Well done her not using the online service! Is that available to anyone or just selected groups?

I loved getting my results, we collected them from the school so it was a huge thing to us. We went down and everyone was there friends teachers the lot. I think I would have been upset had my parents found out before me, it was my day.

I know that i would have to have a sneaky peak and then would feel really guilty that i had. But if i was given the password there is no way that i wouldnt.

Wishing her lots of luck and hope she has done great which im sure she will have xxx

I can get my results online too, I think it's a new SQA (Scottish Qualification Authority) thing  this year, Christine.

Really hope she does well Nicky!  I'm sure she's done fine!  Hey if she wants to be a lawyer (I'm sure you mentioned that before) she'll have put all the effort in.

If you do look....then remember to delete the history on your PC!

I'd hate if my Mum looked before me.....I wouldn't have given her the p'word though!! HAHAH!

Good luck Kirsten!!

bit odd shes given you the password

just ask her if she would like you to peek if shes too nervous, remind her that whatever she gets your sure shes tried her best

personally i wouldnt look unless she asked you

hope shes done well and has causes to celebrate
