DD (year 10) is very sporty and would love to eventually teach PE, so has taken PE as a GCSE. Recently, however, the PE Dept have been arranging tournaments/matches in school time, meaning DD has missed other lessons.
Come to a head of yesterdsy with DDs maths teacher 'yelling' at her for missing her class due to a badminton tournament at another school. The PE teacher had emailed the maths teacher but she kept saying that maths was more important and she didn't want DD to go to the tournament.
Views please. Obv maths is very important and DD won't be able to teach without good maths results but she also needs a good PE result. She's doing very well in maths, top set 'accelerated'.
Surely she shouldn't have this conflict between two subjects she's chosen, she was a bit stressed this morning as missing Spanish later for a handball competition. Is this normal practice?
