And is it important to pick a "good" topic?
DS1 is Yr 12 and DS2 Yr 10,both have been offered the opportunity to do an EPQ at school. DS1 is keen because he's been told its worth half an A level and he thinks he might need the points, although he has no real interest in the project he's picked, he just thinks it will be "easy!
DS2 is genuinely excited by the project he wants to do, but it involves me buying lots of components and will probably cost c £200.
I'm concerned that whilst the EPQ may carry ucas points it won't be recognised as such and DS1 should really concentrate on his a level grades.
I'm inclined to support DS 2 simply because of his genuine interest and the fact that the project is worth doing for it's own sake.
