DS re-doing year 12 - first time round he got a C an E at AS level. So re-started at college doing level 3 BTEC in engineering which he has enjoyed, good attendance etc. he has minor learning difficulties (Dyspraxia). We knew he wasn't working that hard, but he said he was on top of things. Today he has come home to say that he is only going to get a 30 credit certificate, as he hasn't completed enough assignments. Basically the equivalent of 1 AS.
He is 18 so I have been very good and not said what I really think. However, I feel so disappointed that he had this second chance and blew it. I don't know how best to tackle this? Leave him to it ?
He has applied for a couple of apprenticeships (a wise move probably as clearly college is not his thing!) but what is a prospective employer going to make of these results?
