This is my first time posting! I have a 15 year old boy (only child) who will be sitting his Nat 5s (Scottish equiv of GCSEs) shortly. He is predicted to pass them but not A/Bs and he isn’t particularly motivated to study for them or finds any of the subjects particularly interesting. He doesn’t love school. He has nice supportive friends and enjoys playing his xbox but has no clue what he wants to do. We went to the local college last night to look at possible practical course he could pursue but even they didn’t really jump out at him too much. He is now picking his subjects for staying on at school into next year and with some nudging from me he’s gone for more practical subjects that I feel he may enjoy more. I don’t think he will will pursue an academic route like I did (and now have a decent career because of it) so I struggle a bit with this, but I feel I would feel better about it if he had some inkling as to what he might like. Just wondered if anyone was in a similar position. I’m not necessarily looking for practical tips, just someone who is in a similar position or who has been with their son and can reassure me. I seem to be surrounded by friends with kids who either are keen to pursue the academic route or have a good idea in which direction their boys are heading. Thank you.
