DS who luckily is very bright and predicted to get all 8/9s (old A/A*) at GCSE is having trouble choosing his options. He has to take Maths, 2 English and 3 Science. He is then also choosing French and History. Then he has to choose 2 from Geography, Music, PE and Business Studies. My initial reaction is choose Geography (because he is a bright boy), but he is thinking of Music and PE because they are both subjects he will enjoy and are less essay writing than Geography. My only worry is that are Music and PE still seen as 'easier' GCSEs? Looking at the syllabus I'm not sure that they are, both involve plenty of theory and studying, but will he be judged as having taken 2 'softer' options?
