Would really like other peoples view on this
My ds is 14, straight A student who has just chosen his options. He has always wanted to be a primary school teacher, and his careers advisor told him along with his solid academic subjects he also needed to chooses Health and Social Care. This was backed up by his head of year during a parent/teacher meeting and he was offered a place and told if he changed his mind on any of his subjects he had till the end of May to let them know
So today my ds told me the teacher who is organising the options has pulled him into the office 3 times this week about his health and social care subject. He told him that he will be the only boy in the class and does he not want to change his mind. My ds confirmed he does not mind in the slightest(he has as many female mates as male and is a proper sociable chap and the school know this).im fuming, as far as I can see as my son confirmed in the 1st meeting he was happy , so the only reason they have to keep badgering him is they think he will upset the girls in someway or that irs not a fitting subject for a boy !! Am I being over precious here or should I be furious with the school for trying to convince my son to drop out of the class?
Thanks in advance
