I discuss it with him and agree that me nagging won’t help and then he emails them. His imedia teacher just copied us in on her reply to his email and he was quite sweet and polite bless him. Plus he knows this subject really needs knuckling down on. I’ve put him down for 2 tennis lessons a week so he gets more exercise and some routine. He was telling me the finer details of Chinese time zones on the way home, if only they did GCSEs on random interesting Youtube facts he’d be all 9s!
