I would be really grateful for advice.
I have a very stressed yr 11 dd. She is struggling with GCSE music. Not because she isn't a good musician, but because her music teacher has left the school, having covered less than half the syllabus in year 10.
Due to building work, the class are being taught in a portacabin and have no access to rehearsal space, computers or recording equipment.
The teaching is now shared between 3 temporary staff, only one of whom has any up to date knowledge, and she has been brought out of retirement.
Realistically I don't think there is time to salvage anything from the situation.
My dilemma is this:
I want to help dd maximise her chance of a place at a good school/college for A level, but the competition is fierce.
Is it better to drop a subject, or continue with the certainty that the only outcome will be a poor grade? Which would be the better option in terms of applying for sixth form?
She is currently studying 11 GCSEs.
TIA.
