Master Logic is now in Year 6 and as such, will transfer to secondary school next year. Today was the day that the results of the borough's selection tests (the 11+ in old money ...) were announced and as you can imagine - the playground was buzzing with parents discussing their offspring's future?
Pah - we didn't even put Master Logic forward for the tests; we sought the advice of a wide range of professionals and the fact that he has the wonderful triad of ASD/ADHD and GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) there was little or no point believing that, even if he'd even been deemed 'selective' that he'd be able to cope with the academic rigours of attending one of the borough's four grammar schools? I sat the very same test back in the mid 1980s and failed it as did both of my brothers. It's not a nice thought really - being deemed a 'failure' at the tender age of ten or eleven.
