So my dilemma is this:

DD offered excellent courses at her own schools sixth form.

DD offered ok courses at another sixth form, which aren’t as good as other sixth form when it comes to what she wants to do at university.

Now the problem is, her own school is quite a toxic environment filled with people she doesn’t feel comfortable with. I’ve said to her that it may be that new people join to which she said she saw there were only one or two different faces at the sixth form meetings.

Second place is in a college setting, even though it’d still be a-levels.

DD would like a fresh start so would be willing to settle for not so good a-level options there. All because she would like a new environment.

I really wish she would go to schools sixth form and see it as focusing on her goals and not the social aspect she’s dreading.

What would you do?

Once again I thank you all so very much.

After all that DD found out on her group chat in the middle of a tearful conversation with me, that two of her closest friends have changed their minds and are staying on. In an instant she said “I’m staying!”

So she will stay on and study the strong a-levels! Smile

The relief!!!!!

Thank you to each and every one of you.

It’s amazing how important friendships are at this age and how much support our youngsters find in them!
