My ds finished school this time and has only just turned 16. He has struggled at school with learning and after lockdown the teachers put him in interventions to help him. Unfortunately they did not keep to this. One minute he's in them then he doesn't need them. He came home after his mocks to say he thinks he has a problem. I have begged and begged the school for help and they promised they would but never did. Then once gcse qere approaching they said it was too late. He struggled mainly in English but good in maths. He was predicted 4-5 maths and 4 English but actually failed the English mock exam. 2 weeks before gcse the English teacher decides to help but by then it was too late. My ds wasn't expecting high grades but was expecting a standard pass but unfortunately he failed them both. He was absolutely devastated. Sixth form have withdrawn their placement offer and sent him to careers advisor. He's going to another college tomorrow to talk to them but I'm scared they won't hav3 any places left in what he has now set his heart on. He worried because he's not had a taster at this college he doesn't know how to get there as it means 2 buses and I'm scared for him. I kept telling him to apply for another college incase sixth form didn't work out but he was adamant on his predicted grades he would and the college said he would too. I do think my ds has learning difficulties which I will speak to the college about if he does get to enroll. He is quite young for his age, struggles to take things un etc. I've never had issues with his behaviour or anything like that. I've had no sleep all weekend worrying about college, his future, him knowing how to get there, making new friends. He feels like a failure and he's embarrassed by his results which is so hard to see. The look on his face when he opened that letter just broke my heart.
