Got a letter from DS's school this morning inviting us and him to a special parents evening next week. Apparently based on his YR 10 GCSEs and teacher recommendation he is included in the schools MAT programme and the 5A/A* target group.
All lovely but why do they want to see us? What will labelling the group MAT achieve? Is it extra work? DS hasn't decided on University for certain yet (just started yr 11) and he doesn't even know what he wants to do? He's the type of child that if you push him too hard in one direction he'll become a bit stubborn so I don't really want him pigeonholed just yet.
We will go along to the parents evening but Id appreciate anyone else having had experience of this.
