della Report post Posted October 11, 2006 Just had a phone call from my son at college, who was very upset. He cannot do the work. He is intelligent, that isn't the problem. I don't quite understand this problem he's had with certain bits of work. It seems to be getting worse. I asked if it was a problem of concentration and he said yes. The thing is that here you aren't allowed to specialise until you're really about 18. So he's having to do general stuff like geography, french, english etc. What he wants to do is computing. I reckon I'm going to be getting calls from the school again soon telling me he's refusing to do the work. And I'll have to look as if I'm trying to find a solution, although there doesn't seem to be a solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
