School has moved ds down a set. All fine and good, and he is happier in the second set.
My issues are, primarily, not being informed of it. background ds bright but dyspraxic. Science teacher at end of last year consultation confessed he had had no knowledge of this until DS had told him, hence plateauing all year. DS needs scaffolding to enable him to access the curriculum in high note taking subjects.
He has since achieved a level leap to get his end of year 9 target in one half term.
I know I should speak to his teacher. But I guess my question is, is only doing double science going to hold him back when doing uni applications? Do RG unis expect triple science as standard?
I don't think he is going to want to go down the science route for tertiary education...
