Not sure whether to put this in SN or home ed so I've done both
DS has significant SN. We're pootling through the GCSE curriculum at home (geog, science, maths and English) but its becoming increasingly clear that I dont think he'll get above a level 2or 3 maybe a 4 in maths. Is there any point him taking the actual GCSEs? For the most part He will quite happily work through the topics but his exam style questions are diabolical and dont reflect his intelligence or the interest he shows doing the work. Some topics are diabolical and completely miserable however hard he tries. If we weren't doing the actual GCSEs we just wouldn't bother
I can provide him with secure housing for his lifetime. I can't imagine him ever working. But half of me feels like I'm writing him off before hes even begun.
It was fine when he was at school you could take a punt regardless. but DS is CEV and so much happier+healthier out of school generally; he's definitely not going back any time soon!! But being Home Ed the costs of GCSEs land on me, they are likely to be hugely expensive. that's a lot of real life experiences the same money could fund
Wwyd? And how do you make yourself comfortable in the decision
