Hi
Can anyone give me advice and opinions on how I go about dealing with this problem.
We received information from the school giving us our son's Options. He chose his options but what he has been given are quite right. So I queried it with the teacher in charge and he said that my son chose
1st - Geography
2nd - Product Design
3rd - Creative iMedia
Reserve 1 - Drama
Reserve 2 - No choice given
However, as far as we were concerned, he chose Computing, and Creative IMedia is his reserve. The teacher suggested that my DS was confused and mixed them up on his form.
Computing is something he really wants to do because of what he wants to study later, but we know that it may have been hard for him to get in as it was so popular.
Now it appears that there has been a mix-up and being the kind of people we are we photocopied his options paper. which clearly shows that he chose
Compulsory Option - Geography
Option 1 - Computing
Option 2 - Product Design
Reserve Option 3 - Creative IMedia
Reserve Option 4 - Drama
On each he had to give his reasoning as to why HE wanted to do them.
I have this morning forwarded the form to the teacher responsible for Options, asking to see a copy of the form he has received, i.e. to make sure we're talking about the same child. As Computing is full, I am not sure what we can do at this stage, but it seems a little unfair (and I know life isn't fair), that he does all that he was supposed to do but has been stopped at this point by a mix-up, not of his making.
Just any thoughts if something similar has happened or if anyone has fought to get their child onto the options they desperately want.
Thanks
B
