Argh...its not as bad as it seems, mad? Usually they choose 2xEnglish, Maths and 2 or 3x Science, at least one MFL, and a tech subject (that's what it was for my older ones.) Then you get limited choices between history, geography, PE and music and ICT . Mine also had to study RE. Although with all these accelerated courses going on it may be a bit more confusing. All of mine have learned the hard way that because your history/geography teacher in years 8 & 9 was great, it really means you most definitely won't ever see them again for the rest of your time at school, and have just had to get on with it.
Of course the stress doesn't finish at 11, what were you thinking. This is the long haul :lol:

No worries of DD1 having any talent there...but I can see DD2 destroying our house/family life for it!
