DS1 is driving me to drink.
He has a German written exam and 4 mock exams starting next week.
The German written exam is a gift - 15% of his GCSE mark for what is basically a memory exercise. I have, through blood, sweat and tears managed to get him to almost learn it by heart. However he has done little if any revision for the other subjects, and despite my best efforts seems not bothered by the whole thing.
He is a capable student who can excel and get A's and B's in subjects, but he has the mindset that a C is good enough so why should he try harder.
He wants to go to Uni to study History, and has ambitions to be a teacher. I have tried explaining that he has the wrong attitude to be a good teacher, but even that hasnt changed his thinking.
