Just had a letter back from school on the last day of term concerning my ds. He has just finished year 9. Nobody has told me of any issues regarding his English ability and he is supposed to be bright. At parents evening he was predicted 2 Cs at GCSE or if he worked hard 2 Bs. However all of a sudden school is recommending that he drops English Literature entirely and just concentrates on English Language. They are now saying that he may struggle to get even a C grade. Does anyone elses school do this? Is it likely to be in his interests or just for school league tables?
