I would welcome some advice please.
DD1 (just gone into Y12) has sat Higher maths I think 5 times, never scoring higher than a D - not sure how close to the borderline, but not enough for remarking.
So she is now resitting in 6th form, and wants to do Foundation rather than Higher. She has done one single Foundation paper, in class, never having seen a Foundation paper before, and got a C.
School want her to resit Higher because they say she is getting closer every time. She absolutely does not want to do this, she wants to sit Foundation in November, pass the bloody thing and never have to do maths again, thus freeing her time to concentrate on 4 A levels.
I support her in this, but am I wrong? should she be trying for Higher? I've yet to talk to the maths dept, because her teacher has not been there for the 5 lessons she's had this term (not pleased about that I might add).
Any advice would help! thanks
