Dear Everyone
Just to let you all know that it is possible to DIY (to coin Patiricia's phrase!)
and from so far away too. My son did pass his exams - we heard yesterday! We are pleased for him (and to be honest I am pretty chuffed with myself, because I had to learn it, to teach it!!), especially considering school standards over here are nowhere near UK standard and work covered is nothing like the National Curriculum. This Forum has been fantastic and really kept me going. Patricia, Sally Anne and HP who first responded to me when I registered in March - thank you so much - all your advice worked! Julia B and Dorset Parent and others - you all became my friends overnight! I could not have done any of it without you, and believe me, from over here that is 100% the truth! We actually continue to work every night, just really to keep up with Maths and English, but it has been enjoyable and I will continue to post to help others, and as they have helped me! Thanks USA

Dear USA,

Many congratulations to your son and of course you, super-coach DIY-Mum! We at ElevenPlusExams have been traking your postings in the forum for a long time and are very pleased to see a successful outcome and conclusion.

P.S. Last season we had a DIY-success parent from a UK Consulate in Singapore, but so far this season you get the distance-learning 'title', though by March when the national results come out you may have to relinquish your crown.
