Last week I went to my daughter's GCSE options evening at her high school. Apart from not believing I have a daughter old enough to choose her GCSEs, I was quite overwhelmed with the information. How is a 13 year old supposed to know what subjects to take?
They were talking about career paths and going to university, it's quite scary that she has got to think about these things plus she only has a couple of weeks to make the decision but the longer she leaves it the less chance she's got of getting on the courses she wants.
Anyway today she has chosen the 4 that she wants to take and submitted it online (another thing that's completely different to when I was at school).
When I chose my GCSEs I don't think I put much thought into it or what I wanted to do when I left school. Kids just didn't seem that bothered about this sort of stuff then. I really admire kids nowadays that get stuck into studying and have a clear goal of their future.
