As the title says, how can this be a good thing?
DD1 is less than a term into her GCSE courses and this week has come home with grade 9 results from tests she has done in English & maths.
I have to say she is very bright, finds learning very easy but is not off the scale bright.
She, of course, is over the moon. I am very proud. But what motivation does it give her, where is there room for improvement?
In contrast, she sat two tests in chemistry and biology last week and scored a 'high level B'. Surely this gives her more motivation and desire to improve?
I was far more comfortable with the science results than the English and Maths TBH.
This is in no way a stealth boast, just genuinely curious as to whether this is such a positive thing. Particularly as she is prone to laziness. She's one of those kids who does her homework at 9pm on a Sunday then has a melt down because the printer's run out of ink, or spends an hour doing a piece of homework they have been given 2 weeks to do. So motivation is a real issue.

Is it really such a good thing to be getting level 9 in English and maths this early into yr10?
