Do I listen and back down or make the appointment?
DD1 is bright and articulate and doing well, sort of, in that she's expected to get her 8 GSCEs, all in the C/B range. But I know she's capable of pulling most of those up to B/As. There's also seems to a lot of 'issues' with a couple of key teachers.
I wanted to go into school and see if any of these could be sorted out and if there is anything I could do to generally up her motivation. She has begged me not to. And tears are very unusual for her - 'whatever' is her more normal response
I can't decide if I'm turning into the sort of pushy, interfering, harmful mum, I always vowed I wouldn't be when it came to education or if I'd be letting her down by letting it go.
