DD has to choose secondary schools this year. DS#1 is very happy and doing well at his and DD was very happy at the idea of going there too next year. We like everything about the school. Since he started it's had an outstanding Ofsted report, and has improved it's GCSE results enough to take it off the National Challenge list. So hurrah! We need to apply for DD now. And is she champing at the bit to go to this wonderful place? No. She has now announced she wants to go the one other school in the town I wouldn't send a dog! Because her friends are going there. There is one other that would be acceptable to us but no.... apparently it's 'gay' .
So .....DH and I are 100% certain that she won't be going to the school she wants. Sorry but being the grown up has to count for something! How do we approach this. So we take her to see the school? Hope that we can persuade her it's no good? Or just put our collective feet down and tell her. We went through similar with DS#s but in the end he was won over by without us getting heavy.
