Not sure that anyone can do anything as such but DS1 starts his first round of GCSE's next week. He has been doing past papers at home and it's clear that he is interpreting the questions very literally and I don't always think the answers he gives are what was intended. He can't see why. For example a history question says "choose one of the following developments in surgery a) anaesthetics, (b) antiseptics. Describe the development you have chosen. I would expect the answer to be a rough timeline of how one of them developed with perhaps some key people mentioned. DS wrote basically "antiseptics kill germs". He said he had chosen a development and then described it, just as the question said. Has anyone else had this type of issue to deal with? I'm going to school tomorrow anyway so will probably mention it. It has been awful getting any help, I'm not even sure his access arrangements are in place hence going there.
