DS1 is about to make his GCSE choices. He's doing the usual maths, English, 3 sciences and so on, and has to choose four options, one of which has to be a modern language.
He wants to do history, geography, French and music. He likes music, plays violin and viola, and sees it as a less academic option which will give him a break from his other studies.
DH, however, wants him to do Latin instead. It's always been one of his best subjects (although he's less keen on it than he was, so is not putting the same amount of effort into it as he used to). DH thinks it will be more useful in the longer-term than music.
Does anyone have any experience/advice about either? Thanks!
