DS is about to start year 8.
Academically he achieved all his year 7 targets,it was attitude and behaviour that let him down.
Yesterday we were chatting and he said he was looking forward to going back to school because "year 8 is for having a laugh with my mates".
He also reckons the school are so busy looking after the new year sevens,and the year 11 GCSE takers,that they don't really care about year 8.
Is there any truth in his comments,and what can I do and say to keep him focused ?
