Most colleges now have some provision for 14-16 year olds; so I expect they will only want other 14-16 year olds on those courses.. Locally they are the NVQ1 vocational type course, which school children can take for 1 day a week for 2 years. Fine if that is what your child wants to do.<br /><br />It isn't likely to be of much use to anyone wanting to do GCSES, since most colleges don't offer them at all anyway, let alone to 14-16's- because schools do them.<br /><br />The third category is the new Diploma- but these are full time and often offered in partnership with schools, so the young person would spend sometime in a normal school setting. I can't see any difference between this and being in school and accessing them that way, so I am not sure they will be much taken up by this route.<br /><br />Then space - I wonder how oversubscribed some of these courses are - will they have been snapped up by schools already? Interesting though - although the cynic in me is somewhat aware of the timing!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-9844110674963372442010-04-26T12:46:00.174-07:002010-04-26T12:46:00.174-07:00Have you all seen this?

Some were even prepared to admit it - I had a maths teacher who told me that if his answer differed from mine, or a few others at the top of the class, he'd always go check his before telling us we were wrong.<br /><br />My son will talk to adults politely, but not with the deference that schoolchildren show. He's usually asking questions, so he knows that coming across as rude may not get him a helpful answer.<br /><br />However, there has to be some degree of respect and distance at school to maintain discipline - a direct result of the system as it is set up. Even to the point where a teacher I knew socially because we went to the same local chess club was on first-name terms outside school, but more formal in school. It just seemed to be the way to do it in different contexts.Dave Hnoreply@blogger.com
