DD1 is in year 10, and has just been given her predicted results - A* in every subject. These are, apparently, based on the CAT scores from year 7.
She is having a major wobble, as that's obviously a pretty tall order, even for a bright child.
She is going in today to ask her maths teacher if her maths prediction can be reduced to an A.
I get that the school want her to "aim high", in each subject, but do they not look at the whole picture? Surely this is just setting her up to fail?
I am sure others have had this. How did you and your DC handle it?
(Please don't accuse me of stealth boasting. This is a very real issue for us.)
