DS2 (Y11) is academically gifted, I would say. However, he doesn't particularly enjoy any subject. He's predicted all 8s and 9s (except Spanish - no one is predicted above 6 but we're working on it!). Anyway, I asked what A levels he's interested in:
Maths. He is top 3 in school. I asked why not Further Maths and he said he thinks it'll be too hard.
Geography. "Because it's easy."
Spanish? Very much a maybe but he's very good at languages and seems to enjoy it, loves doing accents/ impressions and is v strong on grammar.
He often talks about sciences with his twin sister who loves Bio/ chem.
Basically he could do anything but of course it depends what he'd enjoy the most and then excel in. He seems to not massively enjoy anything currently. If you ask what class he really likes he will pick the teachers he gets on best with.
Anyone have any advice on how to start thinking about A level choices and what questions he can ask him himself.
In terms of career, of course he has no idea. He worked at a media agency for his work experience and I can see him in that environment. He's very loud, energetic, fun, people person - and not serious!
