ds2 is off to college next september, and this is much topic of discussion in the custy household as his twin sister is of to college too (ofcourse)

dd wants to study english and law

cool

ds wants to study carpentry and physics

w..t....f

he would have to go to two different colleges - one to study carpentry and one to study physics.

he reckons he will get 3 or 4 gcse's and i have begged him to do a-levels and go to university but hes just not interested.

but wants to study physics.

i had a holy row with him and said he had to pick on or the other.

but i am thinking - why? no harm can come of having a-level physics and he might get bitten by the college bug - maybe get some brainy friends

what say you?

Your daughter could also look into the theatre studies A level. All depends on what she wants to do afterwards. For further academic study at uni they may not recognise performing arts as one of the three, but I am not sure.

oh really? i didn't know they wouldn't recognise it - that changes everything

Do they have teachers at the school who can let you know what's an ok combo, custs? Agree (with much less expertise) with mb that enjoyment is gonna be important to get them through whatever they decide.

no, i will have to wait for one of those carers evenings where the colleges turn up

alternatively, i will attend the college open days and ask someone.
