DD2 yr11 has been told by numerous teachers including her form tutor, that she is capable of getting between 7-9 A in her GCSEs. DDs attitude is I only need 3 A 'its to difficult to get 7 or 8' 'I want a life'. DD told this to me as well as her form teacher, who told her that she is capable of going to any University she likes!. Her response was I am not going to just sit in for the next 2 and half years studying and not having a life.
She has quite randomly decided she wants to do English @ 'Lancaster University' all the way from Folkestone !
I am a caught between being disappointed and being very proud , because this is a girl who her 'Grammar' school who would rather that she left in year 7 due to difficulties with Dyspraxia.
I guess this is a thread for other Mums to show disappointment, pride or a bit of both ....
