DS has just started college to study a-levels. His grades were not good enough to continue his studies at his grammar school. If he was at school still he would be required to be on site every day from 9:00 - 3:20. He would be required to take part in sports etc. Now he is at college he has so much time when he is not at college he is already loosing motivation and some days because he doesn’t need to be into 2:30 he lounges around or just meets up with friends. I can’t persuade him to study. I know he needs to become disciplined but I can’t help thinking if he was at school he would have no option but to study. I wish now that I had looked at other local school sixth forms. Anyone else have this problem? I just feel that there is a massive difference and somehow sixth forms students have an advantage.
