DS has got a brand new thing.

[bedsitter11]

This is the Unbeliveable Story about my ds, Sunday morning, He comes down from his Bedroom and informs me,that he has got a new thing. Its his Guitar. He says he wants to stop School now, and go to "London". I tell him to stop his fooling and go to school, Ds is only 15.He thinks the world is a great big Toy, and there is"not anything he cant achieve.He"s just a Country boy, from norfolk. please help me. "Fece Quod Potui,Faciant Meliora Potentes" I have done my best,let those who can, do better.

Smile sweetly and point out that it if was up to you he could pursue this now, but the evil Gove has decreed that young people stay in education until they are 18.

Promise to help him in 3 years time when the guitar is forgotten

Great advice from creamteas! That would be my stance.
Then after a-levels he could then go to The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance
www.icmp.co.uk/
My brother did his degree there and now teaches as well as performs in bands and has been on tour with Paloma Faith!

Point out that if he's that good London will come to him, what with YouTube and ask that malarkey.

But while he's honing his skills with his 10,000 hours he might as well finish his schooling in his spare time?
