DS is doing 4 ASs at the moment. Politics (predicted A)
History (predicted A), Chem (predicted C) and Biology (predicted C).
Now, the thing that confuses me somewhat is that he was always A/A* for chem and bio in GCSEs, and I don't understand why he's doing so craply, and is being predicted such low grades at AS. He loathes chemistry now, partly because the teacher keeps telling him he's stupid. I have sorted out a chem tutor for him now and he finds it v v helpful.
Looking at his half term report, he's currently attaining:
Politics B
History B
Chem C
Biology D
When teachers give the attainment grades, does that mean that he's probably only going to get those grades at AS exams, or does it mean that so long as he keeps his head down, he'll still get the predicted grades?He's always planned to drop Chem after AS level, but now that he knows what he's doing, through the tutor, not sure whether he should be dropping biology instead.
Weird thing is he keeps getting As for homework etc and he doesn't really know why his grades are so rubbish.
