DS is taking his 11+ in a couple of weeks. It's a grammar area rather than super selective so takes top 20%.
He's done no work all summer holiday. He's had a tutor for 45 mins a week in term time so has covered the basics of technique etc.
I'm now nervous that he won't be up to speed after just 5 days of school.
He refuses to do anything because 'it's the holidays'. He's read a couple of pages of a library book in the last 4 weeks.
I agree with him but feel I'm letting him down in some way. Part of me feels that if he can't be arsed to even read a book then maybe grammar school isn't for him anyway.
All of his friends are doing daily past papers etc.
So - do I force the issue and make him do them? Or just leave it up to him and accept the fact that he might not pass.
Or will the last 3 weeks make no difference whatsoever.
