DD is at the end of Year 10. Her English teacher was impressed (his words) with her mock result and has suggested she move up to the top set. They obviously work at a higher level and it will stretch her to achieve a better grade in a subject that she wants to do for A level. Her mock result was two grades higher than some of the kids in the top set so she is definitely capable.
However, she doesn’t want to move. She loves her English teacher and classmates (which is presumably a factor in why she is doing so well). The teachers of the top set (job share) she had before when she was lower down the school and didn’t enjoy their style so much. She is also a bit self conscious and I know will hate to be the ‘new’ kid in the top set.
I’ve said to her that I would encourage her to move but it is her decision. DH and the English teacher think she needs to be persuaded to move.
What would you do??
