Hi all
I've just had a call from school saying they want to withdraw DS (not the only kid which makes me feel slightly better) from creative media btec because, well, basically he has no chance of passing it 😔
He can't stand it so has disengaged completely, which I knew about tbf. What I didn't know is he didn't bother to redo his coursework 😔
They are going to be putting on extra classes for the kids who are withdrawn so they can focus on the core subjects - maths, English etc.
I think this is a good idea as he isn't on track right now to get great grades in those either but I guess I just want to know if this is a good idea from anyone else who has had a DC in this position, is there an ulterior motive that isn't in his interests type thing etc?
He has got time to redo his coursework and the teacher said if he gives it 100% he'll get his pass. But I'm wondering if it would be better to get the extra classes given he has no interest in media as a career. Or is it better to get a pass in CM given there's no guarantee the extra classes will bump his other grades up.
Obviously I feel it should be mostly his decision but like I say I'm just wondering what others think if anyone has any experience?
Thank you!!
