Despite all my efforts to the contrary, it looks like DD will leave school with the equivilent of 14 GCSEs

I can't help but feel this is too many and that 8-10 in more depth

She got this year & last years today; 2xA* for Dance, B for Music, C for Spanish, Geography, IT & Science

There are 6/7 more next year 2nd Science, Maths, 2xEnglish, Drama (equivilent of 2) & Business

I pulled her out of 3 more.

I know DD is unusual because she has out of school activities; but I really can't see the benefit of all these qualifications.

I am massively proud of her anyway

Can you imagine if I'd let her do the extra 3 they wanted?

I actually don't blame the teachers - without exception they expressed concerns about the systems in very guarded and careful ways
