hi, i live in kent which means tha my eldest ds is due to take his 11 plus exam in sept to decide if he will get into grammar school or not (we dont have normal comp schools where we live) I cant believe how worked up and stressed i am getting about it. I always thought that i would be laid back and relaxed about the whole thing but now starting to think that the whole of the summer holidays is going to be spent evising for this exam....it seams so wrong to put so much pressure on a 10 year old child . some of the stuff in the exam, particualy the maths paper is stuff they haven't covered in school so unless they put in some exra work they will be a a disadvantage. i also don't know of many children who take the exam without having extra tuition which hardly seams fair....sorry...ranting a bit. How do other people get through the whole 11 plus thing? x
