DS school has just shared their list of GCSE options. DS is pretty bright, he's in top sets for maths and science, but doesn't enjoy studying.
I am just wondering how much GCSE choices matter when it comes to university entrance. They have three which are a free choice out of ten, she wants to do food tech and DT and given the choice she would do art or music for the third.
I have two older children, and ime GCSEs are one long slog and it's far better to do subjects you enjoy. Am I doing him a disservice in not advising him to do more academic subjects? Do universities really care?
