What have our kids chosen?

[scarlett]

Ds didn't get his choices but I've been stalking the man who makes the decisions and he was told today that they have been swapped to the ones he'd originally chosen...

The usual maths and English literature / lang , double science, Chinese, history, geography, art, computing and classical civilisations . Quite a broad choice, so we're pleased!

[Midget Man]

So how come he wasn't given his choices first time round but can now suddenly swap it in?? Pleased you managed to get it sorted though

[KS10]

Ha ha, I bet they're having a quick rethink on their policy of choosing options in Year 8, scarlett, now that they're faced with the prospect of you hounding them for another year .

[Daogroupie]

KS10. Do you only get two options? That must have been hard. I thought it was bad enough with five. DG

[KS10]

Yes, MFL is compulsory for most but not history or geography. Oops, no, he has 3 ! He's chosen Spanish, history and drama. I forgot that he's doing both French and Spanish.

Did you dress up as a tree and jump out on him? Or a more direct approach now he's in senior school?

DC's school gives them four options, but triple science counts as one of those and the majority do it. They don't have to do an MFL (in spite of being a having a language speciality, which I've always found odd) or a humanity, but they do have to do RS.

Luckily, the Gcse Decision Man said he agreed with me when I said ds had been given a load of beanbag subjects. I think it did help that I dressed up as a giant cheese plant and sat next to his desk for a week.

Scarlett, have you got a virus?

Eh???
