Right then. DS had his 'guidance interview' today at school. Wants to do drama, French, geography, maybe German as a backup. Fine so far.
As a parting shot, head of year hands him back the options form and says, in humorous, man-to-man fashion, 'And if you don't hand it in on time, sonny, I'll put you down for BTEC hairdressing and Dance.'
'Actually,' says DS, 'errm, I'd really like to do Dance. Can I?'
True, he does love dancing, and does it for an hour a week at That Drama Franchise, which he'll have to give up shortly as it's £££. He's also just started doing Tap, but we're talking roughly 10 lessons in his life so far, and I don't somehow think Tap features much at GCSE.
The GCSE is a twilight subject so doesn't remove another option, but is it even remotely feasible for a lad who hasn't done much before? He would definitely be the only boy there, and I suspect the only child who hadn't ballet-ed his way through all the grades since the age of 3.
Thanks for this one, DS...
