Poor choice of school subjects
Did anyone else find this stage of their child's school life daunting, challenging and nerve racking? It just seemed to be a nightmare finding the right combination from a load of poorly grouped subjects.

I've just been through helping my daughter choose her options at school and was shocked at the poor subject choices available. We had to choose one subject from three groups, but getting the right combination was impossible.

| 07-7-2007 | my son is doing a levels this year and I agree with your comments alaneroberts about the stupid system of exams followed by loads more exams. Ive let him choose whatever he wants to do and hope that he will find his subjects interesting. It is true that some parents like Pepa can be interfering wi...more | tim g |
| 15-4-2007 | bi curious f,
Only just noticed your particular post. Must admit, I'm somewhat impressed. I wouldn't say that I am a 'hippy', but I have - I've gotta admit! - hugged trees in the past . . . .lol
good luck! | alaneroberts |
| 10-4-2007 | Pepa,
I'm not sure how to interpret your last post. Are you suggesting that 'the powers that be' will see fit to edit my posts? Are you seriously suggesting that there is anything offensive about them worthy of editing/removal? If you are Pepa, then of course your comment is purely...more | alaneroberts |
| 09-4-2007 | Touchay alaneroberts, good communicating with you but bear in mind that one of the blessings of this particular site is that posts can be and are sometimes, edited. | Pepa |
| 09-4-2007 | Hey Pepa,
Don't worry about it! There are lots of parents who think they know what's best for their children and in many cases they do. It's just that your original posting suggested that you had preconceived views about subjects and that you yourself are a victim of the heavy empha...more | alaneroberts |
| 08-4-2007 | Any 'educated' person would have noticed in my original post, quote "SHE wanted to give it a go, AND I AGREED" quote "WE were at loggerheads deciding what to choose". My daughter is kind, caring, and compassionate - beautiful, confident, popular, intelligent and witty - n...more | Pepa |
| 06-4-2007 | alaneroberts - are you a hippy? Or perhaps a tree-hugger? Maybe both. | bi curious f |
| 05-4-2007 | Dear God!
From reading through these posts, I think we should stop called schools 'schools', but perhaps we should call them 'Business Centres'. Let's stop calling students 'students', but rather 'future employees'. So many of you have forgotten, or don't...more | alaneroberts |

| 05-4-2007 | Teach them right, I mean product design, graphic design, food technology and systems technology. I have taken ICT at GCSE level and have nothing against technology in terms of ICT etc. | Lee |
| 05-4-2007 | It sounds to me that you (the original post) should stop being such an interfering parent and let your daughter choose the subjects. The trouble is that parents are forever linking subjects - even at GCSE - to possible future careers, rather than understanding that the main priority is the developm...more | alaneroberts |
| 04-4-2007 | Lee technology is important. We are a modern race becoming ever dependant on it to survive. YOU need technology so you know what the heck that thing is that she's pressing buttons next time you go down to collect your dole check. As for MFL and learning foreign languages. It would be nice if...more | Teach them right |
