I so wanted my son to make grammar, but knew he was borderline. He seems not bothered, (wants to go same school as his some of his friends) But I feel I should have tried to helped him with his weak English ( he is dyslexic ). It just seems demoralizing to me that the top bright kids(25%) are all hived off and the rest are written off get filtered through the academy system. l don't think it's too late I'm more determined now - gonna start working with my son now, to ensure success in the future.
