Well done kenty’s son & Good luck :)
Personally I think it’s a good idea if you have an academically capable child to stagger GCSE’s. If they are capable then let them sit them. It takes the pressure off a bit when it comes to their final yr at school. I can remember sitting cramming for 8 subjects – I am the first to admit that I personally am & get on & do it type person rather than a sit & write about it type. :wink:
The pressure is enormous on kids to do well & get good grades in the hope that they might get decent grades securing a good future. As kenty says that’s not guaranteed these days.
Getting the balance right between studying & having a normal teenage life is difficult enough anyway so I’m all for it. :)
