When teenagers decide upon merit.

My daughter shared something with me last night that left me completely moved to tears! She is now 15 and in Year 10 at High School. This is the start of her exams, in England known as GCSEs. One of topics she is studying is Business Studies (can't wait to make her Director of Marketing!!!). Somehow she ended up on the register of two different classes, so she was told to choose which one she wants to me in. She hangs out with a crowd of 4 other girls, two of them where in the other class, none of them are in the class she is currently in. She opted to stay in her current class for two reasons:

1. She was happy with the teacher she has
2. She realised that being in a class with her two friends will be distracting for her

Rather than make a decision based on where her friends are, she went for what would be best for her education.

Makes a mum proud :0)
