GCSE options time again!
DS1 has to make a difficult choice - hive mind please advice us!
he's quite geeky, and would prefer to do mainly sci/maths. He is currently doing well prob not by mumsnet standards, but still doing OK in his maths science (level 7a/8c at this stage in year 9) and OK (6/7) in other subjects
His school have a 9 gcse maximum, with 6 fixed, so he has 3 he can choose - but he wants to do more!
In an ideal world, he'd do:
Further Maths
Triple science (counts as one optional subject - double science is compulsory)
Computer Science
History
German
The school are hoping to do further maths as a 'twilight' option - so he'd stay after school one day to do that.
He absolutely loves computer science, and his teachers really really want him to take it, so that's not an option to drop although is probably the sensible option
His preferred thing is to do double science - his school assure him that he could do Physics and Chemistry A Levels from double science. I'm not so sure... He currently wants to do A levels in maths, physics, chem, and study computer science at degree level - he has been certain of that for a long time.
Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated!
