Hi :)
My DD is in Yr10 (15yrs-old) and is very bright, she is at the top of her maths, science, german, geography, music ect. She wants to do Engineering or pure maths, hopefully going to Oxbridge. She dose struggle with english as she is dysgraphic - but after she sent the whole summer pre-learning the GCSE module she's now getting an average of a low A, which is incredible for her :)
The problem is everything they give her school is way below her ability, e.g in maths she is currently teaching herself the further maths A level spec, but in school she's just starting the GCSE stuff.
I keep phoning and going into school to talk to teachers, who keep promising to give her more challenging work, but they never do.
The only subject she seems to enjoy in school now is Computing as the teacher gets her to do more advanced work, or help teach the lesson so she can practice explaining it to get a better understanding herself.
We're both stuck on what to do now, she's always joining clubs and reading outside the lesson - but it's getting to the point were school almost seems like a waste of time for her :(
I would homeschool her but I have to work from 9-5, and can't afford a tutor or to send her to private school :(
So, any advice on what to do?
Many thanks :)
