Senior flyingboy has got a B yes a B for GCSE ART!!!!! This is the child who has the drawing skills of a 4 year old. We did put in lots of effort into his research and sketch book and he did chose 'everyday objects' which he used his old obsessions for - hoovers, toasters, washing machines. He took some really creative photos. And finally did his current obsession - hand driers.
You see it does have some advantages. But honestly, if anyone had told me 5 years ago that my son would get a good GCSE in art and another GCSE in Expressive Arts I would have laughed at them. I know it's not huge in the world of academia but it's lovely to have something to be really really proud of and be able to boast about a bit.
