DS1 is in 2nd year and about to pick his Standard Grades. I am old and sat O Grades and Highers so am not really sure how it all works.
What is the difference between Foundation, Standard and Credit levels? Do you have to sit the Credit level to go on and do the Higher?
We have a meeting at the school in a few weeks so no doubt I will learn more then.
Apparently they get to take 8 subjects. DS has received his report card and seems to be doing well in most subjects. He has been advised to take 3 Sciences but also wants to do History and Geography. English and Maths takes the total to 7. He would also like to do Computing and Design Technology, I would like him to do French.
Do you think a language is important?
This part is bad enough. I have no idea how I will cope when he is actually sitting the exams!
He has no clear idea about what career he would like. I just dont want him to limit his options later on by making the wrong choices.
Thanks
