Options time for dd
She will sit 9 GCSEs.
Maths, 2 English & Double Science are compulsory & she has to choose 1 of either History, Geography or French - she is choosing French. That leaves 3 options
For the first time her school are offering triple science as an option which dd says she wants to take. She was supposed to take compulsory Dance but it's not being offered this time as the students all have qualifications above GCSE level anyway & the new syllabus won't necessarily suit them.
She definately wants to take Music - & she should do very well in it hopefully, she sings & she composes.
Which leaves RS, IT & Drama. Dd enjoys all three subjects. She is really into IT, & really wants to take it but we are worried it won't give her a humanities subject. Again she's really good at drama however she isn't so good on essay subjects, she has ASD & though she is very intelligent she doesn't enjoy writing about writing. She loves RS. As an atheist she likes the philosophy & ethics side of things but she always wanted to do drama instead of dsnce until the syllabus change.
So if she chose Maths, English, Triple Science, French, Music, IT & Drama would the lack of a humanities subject be an issue? Or should she do RS instead of IT or drama?
Or only do double science & do all three for a bit of rounded was (science teaching hasn't been wonderful so far & dd does a lot of self study to fill gaps).
